      Pros

      Good benefits, matching 401k, well oiled expense system, some leaders are very responsive to employee needs. Nice campus in Houston.

      Cons

      Focus is on the bottom line. It used to be the people who made the company but many of those leaders have left. Today with a ridiculous matrix of leadership roles, no one is really sure of who to call in what situation. Spending time focusing on gimmick sales rather than substantial products. Small minded, focusing on the now instead of the future growth of the company. I doubt they will ever see the 10 Billion Bain Capital claims to be chasing.

      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.
