Pros

Best in class product Best in class innovation (2-3x the R&D spend of our competitors) Great culture of collaboration, positivity RSUs, Great Benefits Sales leadership: authentic, not egomaniacs like in so many tech companies

Cons

Our sales team has one of the lowest quota attainment %s in the industry (reference the RepVue reports / dashboards). This is corrected by continual tweaking of the comp plans and with RSU grants, but it can seem bleak when such a low % of reps are hitting quota. Even in a bad year, most reps still do ok on the overall comp package.
