      Pros

      no pros. no increments or promotion for lower level employees who donot want to be a part of office politics, below market pay. no increments. managers keep the money for themselves.

      Cons

      office politics is horrible. no pay raise or appreciation. have to be a manager to get a decent bonus. no joining bonus and no RSUs.

      Went from Best to Worst

      Virtual sales account manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great compensation and great benefits. You get a lot of experience under your belt here and it is a very well-respected company. If you put in your time, it can lead to big things in your future within this company, or the next if that's what you want.

      Cons

      If you are in virtual sales (GVS), STAY FAR AWAY. It has gone from being the most rewarding and enjoyable job to an unhealthy call center environment. The VP decided to fix something that was not broken and make everyone work out of the RTP office instead of hiring real raw talent. The director rules by fear and walks the floor to make sure people don't leave before exactly 5pm on a Friday afternoon (this job is requires long hours and they don't allow you to put in overtime, mind you), and you have little or no support from operations. Half of my peers were either in therapy or needed it, and they were always so terrified to come in every day. Also, there are layoffs every single quarter. The ageism is real in this company. You are not safe unless you're an older white male. The culture isn't the best here for women either. No one ever feels safe to report when men are inappropriate.
