Pros

Unlimited PTO was nice, but that's about it

Cons

This place was all around awful. Upper management had to consistently tell us we weren't being fired because they were laying off people left and right, when in reality they ended up laying off entire offices after promising they wouldn't. Team managers were EXTREME micro-managers, paying attention to the exact time we got into the office so we wouldn't leave a minute early (there are no set hours here, you just need to work 8 hours a day). My boss was remote and still managed to do this, on top of promising to let us wfh when necessary, but consistently saying no when asked. Also denying PTO even though it was an unlimited plan. To be honest, I don't think they know what they are doing over there. Hopefully they figure it out because although I loved my job, the culture and people I worked with were downright terrible.

Pros

-Depending on what team you're on, you get a lot of autonomy. (on the flip side, see con- if you're on the wrong team) -Good benefits -Fun events & Travel opportunities

Cons

-People getting laid off left and right all time. One minute you have a team mate and the next they are just gone. -Management is top heavy and operates like a fraternity -If you're on the wrong team every move is watched -Your job is NEVER safe -Imagine with the acquisition that was just announced by Apollo that the reason for layoffs was to become lean before transition. I would hedge bets that this will also continue to be a numbers game and positions are going to be uncertain -Sales plans are always ambiguous and there were even times where the plan wasn't out until several months into the year. Expected to sell over and above but didn't always have a sales plan to follow. It was always changing.
