Fair benefits, transparent communication, however aggressive actions to reach out the objectives

Account director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company relies on its technology to impose a high price on customers. This makes the sales job easy, but it's also painful since you have to hear many complaints from customers. Benefits and salary are fair,

Cons

The company is very aggressive in reaching its overall objective. My business unit was reduced by 90%, affecting not only sales but also all other groups, including technical teams. You need to have guts to stay in a company like this and see your friends leaving.
