Pros

Beer cart Free food Free soda Can work from home at least 1 day a week Uses many various technology and languages like Java, Ruby, coffeescript, etc People are friendly and smart

Cons

No clear technical leadership of what to do with so many technologies. A solution to solve memory problems is to restart the server. Manager use fear tactics and human resources do not validate what the manager says about you is true or not. Company has issues solving customer attrition rate as many small business owners will pay for the product only when they need it.

Where dreams go to die

Pros

For the most part, the majority of people are great and passionate. Solid sales training and a good stepping-stone job.

Cons

After the first couple months post ramping period when goals are lofty and the gimmicky perks become apparent, the glint and sheen of this job wears away. Good luck ever taking vacation. They give you plenty of days off on paper, but good luck convincing management "that it's a good time to take a day off." Hyper focused on metrics and call stats, so even when you exceed goals, they'll micromanage you until you lose every ounce of motivation and passion. Mid to upper management constantly pressure you to stay late and come in on Saturdays through petty guilt tactics. If you enjoy terrible micromanagement, 120+ calls a day, and dreading everyday of work, then this is the sales job for you.

Pros

free pop and occasional free lunches when they want you to work THROUGH your lunch to meet sales numbers for them

Cons

poor management, constantly changing ,unattainable, stressful sales goals .........they propose to focus on the customer but it's not the customer that they have interest in.........it's the customer's credit card number
