Pros

Good benefits, Decent salary if you negotiate it coming in, but forget about getting a decent annual raise. the top performers get less than the inflation rate. You are treated as an adult when it comes to your schedule, very flexible.

Cons

-Cult of personality culture. -Performance metrics are based on completely arbitrary factors, to the point where people worry more about the metrics, and less about whether or not they are actually doing a good job. -Sales force rules the roost. Internal politics always manages to derail needed changes. -Management completely out of touch with what occurs in the field. -Work lots of weekends and nights with no compensation. -From a project management standpoint it is known as a "weak matrix" organization, all power resides with funtional managers. -New York City is only fully "Unionized " area for the company, union employees operate with complete impunity. -No consideration for geography in salary bands, except San Francisco, they get a cost of living bump NYC does not.

Pros

Great company and coworkers. People are very nice and friendly and the CEC is a nice place to work and the role has flexible hours.

Cons

There is a lot of work to be done so there's a lot of stress that comes with the role. There are times where you will have to work over 40 hours a week. Seems like work-life balance is not prioritized.
