Pros

Good Technology and there are (or were) some great people.

Cons

Where to start... This is a UK based company that doesn't know where to go or how to compete. They are convinced that their competitors are Salesforce and Adobe when the reality of it is they're not even on the radar. With zero marketing in the US no one has ever heard of Smartfocus which makes getting leads a challenge. The company doesn't invest in it's people and will straight up lie to it's employees on how well the company is doing.

Pros

Can do attitude. This is a great company if it did not have the items in CONS. You have the ability to learn and move with the flow. There are tons of opportunities to learn and really make a difference.

Cons

To focused on sales. If you hate selling anything, this is not the place for you. All Management cares about is hitting the goals. Which is not a bad thing, but you have to have a solid product. Most clients are fooled by the Salesman (No brainer here) and Client Services will take the heat. This isnt a problem because you just bring the Sales guy back in the picture. Management is ambitious. But over the top ambitious. They'll shoot themselves in the foot if they have not done so already. - Work/live balance tips on the Work side heavily - Compensation is okay. Build experience and jump to a competitor. - Career Opportunities are available if you can sell. Test yourself, find a product you know is dysfunctional, and see how many people you can sell it to. The first 3 don't count. - CEO is on cloud 9. - Country Vice Presidents: Suck.
