      Pros

      Name on resume, pay. (also Glassdoor is garbage so minimum input length here.)

      Cons

      LPs are a joke, toxicity not only tolerated but mandatory, the customer doesn't actually matter except as an excuse to promote yourself. (Screw them over as you like, as long as it makes you look good.)

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong process orientation and automations that are meant to streamline onerous processes. Customer Obsession is a learning principle, and if you are too there's a lot of support in helping you support customers. Working with some people who are really good at their jobs--great to learn from them.

      Cons

      Uneven, toxic culture. Some teams are painfully political, if you are on one of them, or targeted by one, it can be a soul-sucking, sanity-questioning experience. Forced stack ranking of employees; depending on the mandate of your team, you have to manage out a percentage of your reports. A driver of toxic culture. Very hard to rise in this company. I saw top performers languishing, and the comp plan leans too heavily on the stock price to justify wonky salary structure.
