Pros

- Great product customers love to use - great team spirit at IC level

Cons

only a handful of AEs makes quota outdated sales management telling over and over again to do things that worked out well 4-5 years ago, things (and markets) change ridiculous overhiring within the past two years (territories get very granular), new hires are likely to receive account set that has not been touched for years no visible marketing and/or partner strategy
