Pros

Solid set of solutions and their new all in model is good for those seeking a lot of upside. The solutions are well integrated and solve real business problems.

Cons

Steep learning curve for a specialist moving into a client role. Ramp up time is very limited. If you don't have relationships at large accounts you will be challenged to succeed in the time frame they expect.

Pros

They hardly ever fire anyone.

Cons

They hardly ever fire anyone. Comp plan is terrible. You get paid on Opportunities sources but there isn't any criteria written down on what makes a discovery call turn into an opportunity. Leading them to cherry-pick deals and choose if you get paid or not. They don't have product market fit. The entire new logo space didn't close anything last year. Getting placed in a good, high paying seat is all dependent upon nepotism. No clear path for growth. Constantly moving the goal post and changing promotion criteria. The promotion path leads you to a role that has historically not closed a deal and the role is a huge pay cut for some BDR's leading to high churn or career BDR's.
