Pros

The team are mostly good people

Cons

Poor management - micro management, not able to manage teams effectively or provide support. Managements job is to take pressure from Exec team and pass on to the reps using fear as motivational factor. Toxic. Poor base salary and unrealistic targets so OTE is pointless. Massively saturated market - both competition and internally with so many AEs and inside sales reps all prospecting the same areas - as an AE you may as well be a BDE, likely to earn more. Poor benefits and annual leave.
