Pros

Houston Campus is nice & decent people do work there. Although most have been laid off.

Cons

Terrible management. Since being taken private it has been downhill. It's all about slashing jobs and improving the sacred finance metrics. The PE group that owns the company will take public again in a few years so get ready for another big shake up. For the close to 4 years I worked there the bonuses never paid out fully like I was initially told it would. Good luck getting a raise there too...

Pros

They hardly ever fire anyone.

Cons

They hardly ever fire anyone. Comp plan is terrible. You get paid on Opportunities sources but there isn't any criteria written down on what makes a discovery call turn into an opportunity. Leading them to cherry-pick deals and choose if you get paid or not. They don't have product market fit. The entire new logo space didn't close anything last year. Getting placed in a good, high paying seat is all dependent upon nepotism. No clear path for growth. Constantly moving the goal post and changing promotion criteria. The promotion path leads you to a role that has historically not closed a deal and the role is a huge pay cut for some BDR's leading to high churn or career BDR's.
