Pros

Pay package and medical benefits are decent. Beautiful campus - Many places to hide especially when you are in stress caused by ineffective and inappropriate team dynamics (especially when you are running from your business unit and your Manager).

Cons

Politics, Politics, Politics - They groom you to be a back stabber at the end of the day. Management is caught up with just making money, they hardly recognize the real people that got the job done. Instead all promotions and laurels go to the wrong idiots.

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.
