Pros

Good pay and great benefits. Lots of opportunities to work on interesting and important projects, alongside people who are smart and fun.

Cons

Despite some shining stars, management is plain awful across the board. Inconsistent promotion practices, rampant ineptitude, lack of meaningful strategy, and absence of passion from so many who could make such a difference. Distributed offices are wildly out of touch with one another. Rivers of bureaucracy and politics run amok.

Not many cons. People are really cool.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
