Pros

- Best-in-class product in the market. - State of the art professional development and product training - Great employee benefits and good people to work with

Cons

- Very low quota-attainment across the sales floor. - Revolving door for AEs. Very difficult to hit quota. Average tenure is about 1 year. - Managers tend to micromanage your day-to-day and deals.
