Pros

Good story and legacy globally.

Cons

Quota setting is out to lunch. Outgunned by aggressive competitors; no partners; little channel development support. SEs are bulletproof; channel team lacks capability. Sales reps left hanging in the wind. No support from a cliquish senior management team in Canada. Rampant turnover at all levels and bush league HR practises. No partner commitment beyond a few niche security players. If interviewing for a sales role do homework and seek out and speak to former reps and managers. From the last few years alone there are many smart and capable people who have moved on.

Pros

Free lunch which is late or stolen by another underpaid , overworked employee

Cons

- there are 25+ managers employed at this office, maybe 2 or 3 you would consider "good" and those are on night shift. - call center job.. self explanatory ( often work through break, never stand up, headsets are particularly bad ) - HUGE turnover (the week I left there were 3 others. Including an employee who had been there for over 10 years, fired in a heartbeat.) - in the year I was there, i counted well over 10 emails saying who had quit / been fired. 2 of our 10 trainees walked out mid way through training . (literally walked out) - trainers are hideously prepared and the content is exceptionally dry. They don't seem to care much. - you will constantly be pryed at by group managers to accept additional duties. ( including training yourself between calls, working late, weekends, from home , to route calls for other busy engineers because of the huge understanding issues. ) - free lunch seems to be sucking people in .. I assure you this arrives cold and is heavily fried/greasy. If you are on night the food sits for up to 6 hrs at room temperature before you arrive. - they will tell you that you can be moved off the night shift within a few months, this will likely not happen for years, while new hires take the day shift positions. - they never back up the engineer should a conflict arise, and if you defend yourself in the slightest you stand to be terminated. - you will be relentlessly frustrated to the point of giving up every single day of your life. And management will keeep coming - unless you are severely overweight or unable to move/ show and type of natural human spirit, I urge you to find a healthier job.

Pros

- Good technology and product portfolio - Decent benefits health, gym, home internet all paid for - New hire Onboarding trip to Israel

Cons

- Local management lack leadership needed to guide and motivate staff. Sales Directors that have never done sales before managing major account teams - High turn over, people leaving every quarter. Sales reps not making their targets. - SE standard and experience has dropped significantly over the last 2-3 years - Poor sales environment, lack of teaming both internally and with external channel partners - Poor support for Sales teams, no inside sales or lead development teams. Lack of marketing resources. -Cut backs in channel reps has resulted in management asking major account execs to take on management of channel partners in addition to sales role!
