don't be fooled

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

good benefits, paid for by not paying commissions

Cons

Don't be fooled by their "culture" bs. you're a commodity just like any other company and the minute they want to cut costs...your out. They lay off people all the time, I saw several rounds in a year - Don't expect to make any sideways moves either they would rather fill position from the outside than promote and train internally as I found out - Their commission system is awful, you have to be there when the deal is closed AND when it ships. With year long purchase cycles of service providers don't expect any hardware commissions for the first year or more. And they follow the old adage that a layoff is best served cold, they don't try to find other positions for you, you're just immediately shown the door.
