Pros

It's great seeing a company putting so much effort into getting the best talent. The people here are insanely smart, and the product set gives the company unique leverage to be successful.

Cons

Life in sales revolves around end of the month and end of the quarter. While this is not unique to the company, it would be nice if we could spread tasks out more evenly throughout the month.

As a large organization, decision-making can sometimes be slow and require alignment across multiple stakeholders. * Organizational changes and shifting priorities occasionally create uncertainty. * Cross-functional processes can be complex, which can impact speed of execution.
