Pros

Strong management, strong vision, good finances. The leadership makes tough decisions to try to remain competitive. The balance sheet ensures you have runway to develop longer term deals.

Cons

I don't think that they are as competitive as they need to be. The competition on one end is already engaged in accounts due to commodity products or on the other end nimble with leading edge technology.

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.
