Pros
As a new hire that previously worked in a retail environment my perspective may be skewed but I truly feel as though I have gone from famine to feast. From my first day I have felt welcome and that my opinion is valued. Everyone is pleasant, helpful, and actually want to work together. In addition to this I am paid a decent living wage, work reasonable hours (with the long unheard of concept of a entire hour for lunch), and have a benefits package that far surpasses anything I have experienced before. There also pluses in the "little things": Like fresh free coffee in the break room that is a "given" (no more $3 at dunks a day), free parking, being in a complex that is right off the highway and outside of Boston, a decent cafeteria downstairs, and a free gym. At Axceler it is truly a quality of life. The company is growing and employees are being set up to grow with it. The smiles in the hall are genuine and it's in general a great place to work.

Pros
The upbeat and fun culture in the Sales department sparks energy and ideas throughout the entire organization. As I have a technical background, I was afraid that the position might be too 'Sales-y' for me; I quickly found that the Sales Engineering role requires great problem solving skills and thinking-on-your-feet to face the challenges that come up on a daily basis. The support systems through the organization make it easy to find any answers you don't have. Although I have the most interaction with Sales on a regular basis, I've been able to mold my 'job description' to reflect my strengths and work on my weaknesses through interactions with all parts of the organization. I have been part of several cross-functional teams and projects that engage my interests will helping the organization's progress. On a side note: If you find that you are better suited for another area of the organization, you can easily transition between roles as the departments are so well-connected. If you are happy with the position and reflect it well, you do get rewarded for your actions!
Cons
There is an expectation to put in extra hours when needed(usually nearing the end of quarter), but you get rewarded with shorter days around holidays. The position requires some travel for Conferences, Saturday Trade Shows or On-Sites, but this travel is well-spread across the department. Visibility is key when it comes to recognition and rewards. To reach the next stage in your career at Axceler, you need to reach a pre-determined milestone or show that your presence is well-received with the addition of projects, cross-functional communication, etc.
