Pros

High base salary. That is it.

Cons

Leadership is the biggest problem this company faces, the product, customer service, lack of innovation, lots of secrecy between higher ups, not open to change even with attrition being incredibly high, position oversold, management inflexible to accommodate employee concerns, concerned with higher ups commitment to their employees, zero trust in employees (treated like children), company stuck in time and not changing to keep up with today culturally and product-wise, quota difficult to attain but zero addressing of it. Position completely oversold...they promise you the world, and get nothing that they recruited you with. Negative morale, and nothing done about it. Sales reps continuing to leave for the exact same reason, and leadership is aware, yet not doing anything about it. Unfortunately this was the worst workplace I've ever been a part of.

Pros

- Established company with a long history and relatively stable business operations. - Provides a sense of job stability compared to many organizations navigating rapid changes in the current AI-driven market. - Lower risk of frequent restructuring or large-scale layoffs than many high-growth technology companies. - Opportunity to work with experienced employees who have deep institutional and domain knowledge. - Predictable work environment that may appeal to individuals seeking long-term stability over rapid change. - Strong choice for professionals who value job security and a steady career path in an uncertain economic climate.

Cons

- Documentation is limited or rusted, and many operational processes lack clear runbooks or standardized procedures, making onboarding and troubleshooting more difficult than necessary. - If you're coming from a modern, fast-paced engineering environment, the organization may feel behind current industry practices and tooling. - Internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit or execution. - There are teams with very long-tenured employees where change and innovation can be difficult to drive. - Decision-making often involves multiple layers of approval, resulting in significant bureaucracy and slower execution. - Processes can move slowly, and collaboration is not always transparent across teams, leading to inefficiencies and occasional confusion around ownership. - In some areas, roles, responsibilities, and operational processes are not clearly defined, creating unnecessary chaos and inconsistent ways of working. - Engineering standards and best practices vary considerably between teams, making cross-team collaboration challenging. - Organizational change tends to happen slowly, which can be frustrating for employees who are focused on modernization, automation, and continuous improvement.
