Pros

No honest pros. It's all smoke and mirrors.

Cons

When I joined TE, I was inspired by the company's vision and "culture". However, over time I have come to the conclusion that it is all smoke and mirrors. Senior leadership is at the mercy of the Co-founder/CEO (who by the way does a poor job of being a CEO). Not in the expected way that leaders are accountable to their superiors or managers. I mean, anything the CEO says goes, otherwise you will be excluded, treated like an idiot, and eventually laid off. Since the most recent round of layoffs, its felt like armageddon. Anyone who is left is either the CEO's buddy or a yes man. I have zero confidence in the company's future, as I'm sure more than half of everyone who's left at the company agrees.

Pros

The work-at-home approach seems ideal. The permanent staff are very supportive and helpful. The company paid for gatherings to foster better personal connections.

Cons

They treat new hires a bit frivolously. After being told for six months that I was doing good work, I was laid off with about a week's notice. Within a month, three other employees were let go in the same fashion. While the company's online engagement process has attracted an exceptionally high initial participation level for their clients, the follow-up engagement levels drop dramatically (usually over 50%). If participants felt that the initial engagement was authentic, participation should rise not drop. This suggests some vulnerability in the company's business model.
