Pros
Cool co-workers and not many weirdos. Nice office space and location near metro. Free coffee? I don't know, just trying to meet this 20 word minimum.
Kontras
So many cons. A good bit of the marketing management seems to have come from Blackboard and they really don't have a clue. It often sounded like they just read marketing leadership blogs and dressed those ideas up as their vague direction. "Be a storyteller", for example. Thanks for that brilliance! Pay is poor. Only people who stay middle mgmt and above who were here before the IPO. They got a lot of options, and/or got grandfathered into high salaries and sales commission percentages. It's very true: most people look to leave after their two year bond. Everyone should know about he two year bond also. It is insane! You basically sign a blood oath saying you cannot quit within 2 years or they will try to threaten you with legal action. They really do it...I saw it happen multiple times. The craziest part is they say it costs $7500 to train you and that's why you can't leave but unless you are part of the sales team you receive zero official training. They brought someone in that tried to make every single position be held to meet several KPIs. Nothing like killing creativity in order to meet arbitrary metrics. Raises and bonuses went down every year. 9.5 hour work day minimum.
