Pros

Industry leading products Good top management World class infrastructure

Cons

Overall issues: Job security is a big concern Strategy has not resulted into business growth in last couple of years India specific issues: Individual level growth is possible only if you are well connected Excessive emphasis on (& rewards associated with) unproductive activities Technical competence is equated with slideware and presentation skills Unresonable expectations combined with lack of understanding (business as well as technology) resulting into failures. Note: unreasonable expectations is a key ingradient for exceptional success, ONLY if it is combined with good understanding of business and technology. Lack of transperancy Time spent on unproductive (but still mandatory) meetings

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.
