Pros

plenty of smart people, decent product, relatively good base pay

Cons

products we're selling are priced so high, combined with high quotas, that it's very difficult to achieve quota and make full OTE. the worst is the corporate culture though, and work/life balance and time off policies. I was lied to during the hiring process and not told that the time off policy doesn't allow time off during the last month of each quarter or during the last quarter of the year - that's six months, or half the year! combined with a culture of micromanagement and blame rolling downhill to customer service or the account teams when deals don't go through because the price is just too high. I had to get out before my family left and I died of a heart attack while chained to my desk

Pros

Benefits are great, random gifts throughout the year, top notch team support

Cons

Company is so compartmentalized no one team has any idea of what is going on with another, which is specifically frustrating when it comes to pay/commission. They keep purchasing other companies without properly integrating into the existing product and have to basically re-invent how to use the full potential of said product to interact with what they already have, leaving a lot to be desired. Hiring new positions with specific goals in mind, but have the same title so are treated the same when it comes to OTE creating a substantial pay cut. Especially when they are brought in to make certain parts of the team and product better.
