Pros

A good enterprise with great opportunities to learn new technologies, and lead software development projects. Except for customer support, there is a good work-life balance with hybrid work.

Cons

Too much customer support (on-call duties, severity 2,3 cases, etc) interrupts the daily workday of developers. The on-call duties are 24/7. Too much legacy code which is hard to maintain.

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.
