Pros

The technology is innovative and market space is huge and getting bigger.

Cons

No development or growth potential for employees. Your promotional opportunities depend on who you know and whether or not the executive leading your team is in good standing. Employees aren't engaged or encouraged to be innovative or creative. It's just about hitting sales numbers and reacting to customer demands and requests - the focus is on the bottom line, not building a strong culture or iconic company. They make you work long hours and then when you're burned out, they get rid of you. HR has zero integrity and has created a hostile environment where you are afraid, paranoid and unable to trust your colleagues.

Pros

Good company benefits - private healthcare, employee stock purchase programme Annual sales kickoff

Cons

All calls & emails are now monitored. Graded & tracked on your calls. New requirement is now to have 50+ calls a month recorded in Gong (Gong was previously phased out but now a requirement). Pay rises are low, false promises each year of promotions & generous pay rises Team members favoured over others Work life balance now near on impossible with all the new asks put in place
