Pros

Two stars for great products and support.

Cons

Sales comp plan is not good and you have to fight to get paid commissions Sales turnover is high it's a revolving door in some regions No commitment to build the channel partners micromanage their margins Limited marketing absolutely no sales leads Micromanage discounts to customers with an iron fist Company does not value good sales people use them and lose them approach Sales leadership has been around way too long and is out of touch If you don't have a cloud titan or a high frequency trading account you will most likely struggle to make money

Pros

Costco snacks stacked in kitchen. Happy hours Friday. Mayya's snacks, roaches around coffer machines.

Cons

Work life balance is out of whack due to daily day and night meetings discussing repetitive stuff...job security :)) C levels don't care how specifically IT is managed, as there is no CIO or even VP. Project priorities, task management all are jumbled together, which triggers last minute anxiety and then you know how it trickles.There's no clue what to do when to do forget how to do part.

Pros

Super internal documentation and pretty awesome senior management. People seem to be doing the right things. Seems like a politics free place.

Cons

Crowded switching market hence long term growth prospects can be dicey. Now sure how company will deal with whitebox switch makers etc.
