Pros

I had decent work/life balance

Cons

I worked at NetSuite for 2 years as an AE and found it to be incredibly frustrating. Training is minimal, success is determined largely by internal politics, and if you’re unsuccessful, they call you lazy and put you on a pip. The amount of churn in my org was absolutely absurd (I left on my own terms but over half of my team had been pip’d out). I’ve worked for plenty of major sales orgs that tout themselves on a “performance culture” but NetSuite executes it in a toxic, dog-eat-dog environment that only values those who are willing to spend more time sucking up to management than doing their job. Management WILL take your deals and give them to their favorite reps, and then ridicule you for not having enough deals. I am well connected at NetSuite and know people in other leadership orgs who have had a better experience, but I would encourage anyone to be HIGHLY cautious of this opportunity. I am beyond grateful to be back to a normal SaaS org. NetSuite is absolutely a cultural outlier.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
