Pros

some great people. Good vision. If you are in the "in crowd" or designated as a high performing, you will be compensated very well in the pay for performance environment.

Cons

old technology trying to get retrofit into today's technology. Innovation and progress can be slow and frustrating. Most positions are very stressful - especially when the products cannot meet the customer needs in the field. The company has great vision, but the strategy changes too quickly, with each new management wave. Need better strategy for acquired companies - products are not well integrated and often fall by the wayside.

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.
