Pros

Remote work is the only positive for employees. And, it's the reason why company is sinking. If your plan is to join a remote company and chill out, you can join. I hear, Security business is still good.

Cons

You'll meet the worst middle management here. Very low pay and slow growth. Do not put efforts beyond your comfort zone as they are totally neglected, not even acknowledged. Forget hikes. If you have ambitions, do not join. You'll be brought down.

Pros

Remote, unlimited pto, health benefits, wellness days

Cons

Complex tools, products and processes. It's mostly all cold calling which is a grind. Morale is at all time low across entire department. Quotas change mid month. No career opportunities... at all. 99% of sdrs have been sdrs for years with no advancement but we're treated like it's an entry level role
