Pros

Decent compensation Great client base with challenging problems Work life balance is manageable Dysfunction is predictable Lots of room to operate independently and be an individual contributor across many internal organizations

Cons

Collectively, a sorely underperforming and dysfunctional organization Too many layers of middle management If you're not in sales, you're a piece of easily replaceable meat Company is not growing. The only product customers are happy with is Remedy. Very little opportunity to change roles or advance your career

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.
