Pros

-Great "lower level" employees (non management) - flexible work hours -good work/life balance -great products- proven to be the best in the industry

Cons

Soon the only people that will be left will be those who come in, collect a paycheck and go home without any motivation or qualms about making the company better. If you are unmotivated and satisfied with spinning your wheels without actually accomplishing anything, then this is the perfect place for you. Management gets in its own way too often. There is some great talent there (for now) but they get stifled by politics and managing up. This is causing all the talent to leave. In the 3 years I was there I saw maybe a dozen pieces of content get developed. Also, there isn't a competitive salary. I was refused a raise twice (even though I asked) then moved and got a 25% bump in my salary- I asked them to match it and they said good luck. The moral in the Waltham office is abysmal. After the RIF in January (20% of the workforce let go) the office that seats 300 barely has 150 in it- and those people rarely show up. Everyone seems like they are 2 steps from going postal. It's toxic and contagious. It's also very secretive and rumors are everywhere. We all knew we would get bought, merge with Keynote, etc but no one would confirm or deny- instead they let people speculate about whether they would be the next group to get let go- no sure if that was a scare tactic or if upper management is actually oblivious to what's going on around them. Do not work here if you want to be excited to come to work everyday.

Pros

Decent Product Great Perks Co-Workers

Cons

A lot of what happens to your career is beyond your control. You can be a top performer and still only meet satisfied in remarks. The customer success departments went through some changes earlier this year and it left it splintered. A lot of toxic environments take place in pockets and everyone is cliqued up. I suppose you could say this is like every corporation, but this was junior varsity level office politics. If you made someone upset you could be next. Most of the executive leadership and brings in their buddies who have no idea how the product works and all of the veterans have left by now. It's mostly a game of grab behind and brown nosing.
