Pros

It's easy to sleep at night when you're working with products that deliver on what they are supposed to deliver. The people are talented for the most part as well

Cons

The management doesn't really work very well. Lots of lip service given to "promote from within" even though most positions are filled from outside the company.

Thanks so much for your review! We agree there's always room for growth. One of the ways we're looking to facilitate more #dreamjob experiences is by sharing reviews like yours with executives so that we can identify areas for improvement. Thanks again!

Pros

ET is full of great people, and for the most part the core people still act like a start-up. Let's be honest, Midwest people are just some of nicest people around. If you live in Indy there are a lot of great opportunities The sincerity of leadership and the people quickly make you happy to go to work, I actually consider 90% of the people I worked with friends. If you manage your time and have a general interest in the technology there are tons of things to do. I've dabbled in product sessions, support workshop hours, custom app dev, etc. All while doing my day job. Because Indy is small most of the talented people in the area end up at ET. A lot of talent resides in the town, and the C level team strives to keep the company local.

Cons

Only Product jobs are in Indy. Comp is only great if you live in the Midwest, if you're hired to work in a remote office be prepared to work with clients of similar skills sets that will make a lot more than you. Benefits are not equal per locale, some offices get parking, food, gyms, subway passes, etc. Simply because that's the bare min to acquire people in that locale, too bad for you if you don't live there. PTO is really poor compared to our parent company SalesForce Benefits are not up to par with our parent company SalesForce, try to find ET benefits and then find SF benefits. You'll notice ET's benefits are impossible to find and SF brags about theirs. That should be your sign. If you're assigned to SOW in Services or Support, there is little to no incentive to move you into something challenging. Most changes are done because of attrition as the organization are pretty flat outside of product. Salary bands don't exist, or if they do they are very lax. It's common someone on your team negotiated really hard and someone just took a college entry job. HR still doesn't have a classification for all skill sets in the field. SaaS margins puts a huge amount of pressure within Support/Services orgs, teams are currently being forced to find ways to offshore aspect of their work to India.

Pros

Great place to work! I loved the collaborative atmosphere that my team had and the sense of community in the company. There is also a lot of opportunity to move up quickly.

Cons

The fact that there are multiple buildings dispersed throughout San Francisco makes it difficult to collaborate across teams. Some meetings feature a Go To Meeting or phone call with someone a ten minute walk away.
