Pros

Good pay & job safety (no big layoffs so far)

Cons

The environment is highly political, with significant communication gaps between departments, which makes collaboration difficult. The sales strategy is very reactive, meaning that when things don’t go as planned, those in supporting roles often bear the brunt of the blame. Rather than focusing on solutions, the culture tends to prioritize assigning blame, leading to a frustrating and demotivating work atmosphere. Favoritism is also a noticeable issue, particularly in the UK. It’s clear that promotions and opportunities often go to those with the right connections rather than those who have demonstrated strong results. This creates an uneven playing field, where knowing the right people can lead to better deals, fewer responsibilities, and more resources, while others are left to struggle.

Pros

Competitive compensation and decent earning potential depending on segment. Opportunity to manage complex deal cycles. Broad product suite allows for cross-sell and solution-based selling. Active founder-led company

Cons

Poor management quality and leadership decisions can impact morale. Culture can feel less dull and lack energy especially compared to faster-growing tech companies. Selling the product can feel little exciting. Internal processes and decision-making can feel bureaucratic.
