Pros
In my time at Carbonite, I have worked with some awesome, smart people. More than half have already left, the rest will soon follow. There are snacks - emotional binge eating is the best way to survive Yes, the compensation is high. How else would they retain anyone?
Cons
When I first came to Carbonite, I absolutely loved it. There was great energy, smart people and I really saw myself working there long term. Fast forward a few years, and I don't even recognize the company I left. The only people who get ahead, are people with very close personal relationships with the right Senior Staff. Gossip runs rampant. People will sell you out in a second if they believe it will somehow advance themselves. There is absolutely no sense of purpose in anything people are working on. There is no commitment or pride, people have stopped caring. You're lucky if 65% of the office shows up on a Friday. The way Carbonite fires or "lays off" people is incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional. Everything they do is always morally questionable. Senior leadership is very clear - no individual person is special, everyone is replaceable. They'll hire a Director, then fire them two weeks later. They'll present a company-wide award to someone, lay them off the following month. If you have any issues, just deal with them yourself. There is no one you can talk to. They basically admit they see all the problems and low morale, but just don't know how to fix them. Their new move is to secretly interview candidates off-site, to have immediate replacements ready when they terminate someone. Keep it classy, Carbonite.
