Pros

Relatively good enterprise level software, executive relationships at some of the largest enterprise companies in the world. Relaxed work atmosphere - no one's working hard enough to make you feel bad about hiding. You can work there for a long time without doing a whole lot as long as you don't need to feel good about yourself. The pay is pretty good for the amount of work you have to do.

Cons

Field Compensation organization is absolutely incapable of paying people appropriately or in a timely fashion. Large portions of the company have unresolved negative credits (clawbacks) for unknown/inexplicable reasons from deals booked over 12 months ago. Employees are told to just wait until next months cycle and it will be fixed - but it isn't, starting another one-month wait. God help you if you leave the company and expect to be paid commission for your final quarter. Random layoffs have been happening since the company went private without rhyme or reason - regions with 150% quota attainment were forced to cut heads while also doubling quota the following year out of retribution. Company keeps hiring outside senior management from bigger fancier companies just to fire them 1 year later after it didn't work out again, while internal talent abandons ship with lack of advancement opportunities.
