Pros

You can potentially keep your job for years even though you won't sell anything.

Cons

10-15 AEs out of 150+ made quota every year that I was at the company. Pricing is an absolute mess. Leadership has some kind of identity crisis with the product and keeps changing what you'll sell, year over year. They blame the reps for lack of success without wanting to accept the truth that something was poorly designed for that lack of success across the entirety of the team.

Pros

I loved my co-workers. Everyone was super helpful and a lot of people were friendly. I enjoyed hanging out with them during lunch hour. People thought very highly of the management. I had a boss that really cared about me personally and was fair but kind. The company also valued personal development and gave time to learn new skills and build side projects for the company.

Cons

I did not find it meaningful to work on software that was helping big corporations.
