Pros

Benefits were top notch up until this year. Now expected to pay more out of pocket. Work with some really great people who do not deserve to be treated as poorly as this company treats them.

Cons

Several months have passed since I left the company however I still am tortured by nightmares in regard to this place. The ridiculously hostile environment that employees endure is not worth anything this place has to offer. So many lies, liars and upper titles willing to smile at you like they are your best friend one minute, only to gladly throw you head first to the wolves to save their own hide. You cannot trust anyone at this company and don't believe any of the propaganda being spewed at every All Hands Meeting. Everything here is done to keep the stockholders happy and no one else which means you are completely disposable. It was frankly like being in a horrible television drama where you would think to yourself "Did that really just happen?" or you think there is no way it could get any worse, but then, it does. Even if you kiss the hand that feeds, you are not safe from the wretched, vile politics in play. Roles created for one employee but not offered to another. The insanity is real. If you thrive in hostility, unfairness and working with and for people who have no soul, then this is the place for you. If you rather take your talents and good heart where they will be recognized and rewarded, then stay as far away from this company as possible.

Pros

benefits and compensation are better than market

Cons

this list is rather long... 1. company lack a culture - hodge-podge of cultures since the company has grown through acquisitions and lacks a unifying theme; company does a really poor job of integrating acquired assets/people 2. poor leadership - company has no real leadership; most of the hiring is external, with each of the new hires bringing in their own cadre of trusted resources; consequently, very limited opportunity for growth/advancement at the senior level 3. CEO suffers from 'shiny object syndrome' - she's enamored by the latest hire or the latest acquisition; has no real understanding of the business or what people in the trenches do to make us successful today; she fosters a very political environment with a lot of in-fighting and people constantly jockeying for position 4. Good place to spend a couple of years and make a decent living but definitelynot where I'd want to make a long term commitment or build a career. The 4 or 5 star reviews you see on glassdoor are all fake plugs from HR or Marketing teams - talk to at least 3 or 4 current employees that have been with the company for 2+ years, before you decide to join the company.

Pros

Amazing unique and proprietary data and large marketplace opportunity. Enough reach to make huge impact if executed correctly. All the makings for a great company and lots of great people.

Cons

New CEO is tone-deaf and living in the past with zero charisma or innovative ideas. Completely misplaced focus with a new ban on working-from-home policy (which has been proven in many studies to be more effective than being strictly forced to work in office), much lower and delayed commissions and bonuses and 401k match, difficulty cobbling together a delivery organization to make employees and Clients most successful, and "culture" is centered around being overworked with no motivation other than business school buzz words, trimming the bottom line, and reorgs. People leaving and whispering about leaving should be obvious feedback but doesn't seem like it matters to mgmt
