Pros

Great campus in Houston, flexibility for working remotely a couple of days per week, good company benefits.

Cons

The company keeps downsizing, even though senior management doesn't seem to address the elephant in the room which is sales not delivering the numbers. You'll find a lot of people who've worked in there during their entire career or many years, so it is not as easy to join the "club".

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.
