Pros

Having a job is good

Cons

Good product but the messiest, least transparent org. Only sociopaths in charge and if you're not a snake in the grass, you're not going to succeed.

Pros

First off, folks here are great. It’s a huge part of what makes you want to go into the office or hop on a call. They’re authentic and interesting. The sales attitude in the business development function is very, very collaborative. You’re given time to multi-thread, to use multi-channel prospecting, and to really think of creative ways to reach out to prospects. There’s a strong focus on career development. There’s plenty of departments to explore, and folks from these departments are always willing to chat about what they do and how you can get involved. Solid job with the management as well. Some of the best I’ve ever worked with.

Cons

They’ve been acquired! Thankfully, it’s by TB who know what they’re doing. But then again, PE acquisitions can get dizzying…
