Pros

- Not a bad place to start your career in tech sales / channel sales - remote work is available - benefits are good not great - people are overall pretty friendly - great networking opportunities with various OEMs

Cons

- pay is not competitive, and it's only getting lower day by day (my job got posted and it was listed at 3k less than I was making) - bonuses are severely capped - very little room to grow in Product Management - Management and leadership are out of touch with their workers / simply don't care - my manager outright told me he feels bad there's no room for me to grow even though I'm an excellent employee - basically zero culture - absolutely everything is paid for by partners - seemingly no direction from leadership, just "sell more" - quarterly recognition is rewarded with.... Your name in a slide deck. The list could go on....
