Pros

Unlimited PTO (if you are eligible for it) and the "famed" Sabbatical are pretty nice, if you are willing to commit to 4 years. Also there are some genuinely good people who are working here, with the intention of working hard and making things better.

Cons

This is a company that requires you to learn a lot about its very nuanced, very intricate and problematic history, very quickly. They don't take time to fix issues and instead let them stew until they absolutely have to fix them at the last minute. Smarsh also has a deadly micromanagement problem. There are a lot of folks at the top and at the mid tier who contradict work and communicate really poorly, leading to more time making up for mistakes than actually executing. It's exhausting to feel like you can't be trusted to take care of issues on your own and are never given the space to do so. Culturally, Smarsh has moved away from a conscientious, people first focused organization and has stripped down to a lean machine, that pushes people to the brink. It's sad to see.

Pros

Decent product, and global market penetration.

Cons

Mergers have been devastating for staff and morale - I saw three in my tenure. Merit does not seem to matter. When new management comes in, everyone is axed.
