Pros

Always ahead of the competition and tech is second to none.

Cons

Not even close to enough marketing efforts to support such a large sales team. Be ready to cold call the first 2-3 years within a limited territory to have any chance of making commissions. Very low percentage of reps hit quota and those who do typically receive a lot of half-baked deals from the reps that resign. Survival of the fittest and tenure pays off. Magic amount of time to survive before finding success is about 2.5 to 3 years. if you make it that long, you're typically going to be just fine. Professional services team prices themselves out of more deals than they care to attempt to help the account executives win. Only 1 of roughly 25 deals presented to PS was on point and competitive with the other bids we were up against. Lots of missed revenue because of this.

Pros

Great people to work with. Office culture and benefits are excellent. Clients bring variation to the job and interesting work

Cons

Limited mobility opportunities — typically comes from someone leaving and opening a spot instead of based on your job performance. Can get boring working on the same clients for years.

Pros

Free lunch and that’s everything

Cons

* No company vision * Pay is mediocre * Lack of growth opportunities * HR is TRASH! You will not be heard nonetheless * Sales driven, which is fine, but that changes every decision the company makes * Lack of product direction mainly because management sucks!! They cannot even prepare a decent product strategy document for a given FY. They ask the L4-L7 levels to come with product goals that they think are important! As long as you produce a BS concept on AI for your product, you are a star, you don’t have to even deliver it! Success metrics are only for the papers, they don’t care if they’re generating any revenue from it!
