Pros

* Good work life balance * Flexibility to work from home when needed * The crowd source community is what drives this company * Great managers

Cons

* Company is driven 100% by Sales management * No career path * Sink or swim mentality * Promotions given mostly by preference and friendships * All white male senior exec team with no diversity * CEO and Finance exec are cheap and will not invest on teams. They've cut pay to the bread and butter of this company: The testing community * Raises have been cut significantly the last 2 years and do not meet the national average, even if you meet and exceed all your year goals. * Bro mentality across the exec and management teams
