Pros

Lots of great people! Good benefits package.

Cons

Recently laid off hundreds due to "covid." This masks four years of revenue loss due to an unwillingness to adapt business model and multiple (failed) strategies and products. Toxic new leadership: interim CEO and CCO are power hungry, self-interested and have a boy's club mentality that places a premium on loyalty. Advancement opportunities are inconsistent and at the higher levels, seem to be based on favoritism and ability to fall in line. Leadership constantly changes direction. Pick a strategy and actually build it the right way instead of the fast way. Morale is low and stock is bottom of the barrel.

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
