Pros

Easy going culture. Nit busy. Hard to find work to fill schedule. No rush, like typical CRO

Cons

No promotions or salary increases. Promotions are based on who your manager is and if they like you. Same applies to how much work you get. Some people don't get promoted for 3 or 5 years. Hard to move around to different departments too.

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
