CXO Demand Gen (senior position)
Pros
Liked that I could work with many teams, exposed to many projects, and learned a great amount. Working remotely and flexible vacation time was a big plus.
Cons
After receiving many awards both from Dell and industry, generating hundreds of millions in Pipeline, and ranked "best of" within my org I received my bonus two times in 4 years. Once when I started and once when I was laid off during their usual cost cutting exercise. No logic to cutting highly impactful talent. Felt insulted and then asked to come back 4 months later by 3 groups. No where to move up to unless a senior person takes a severance package. Little room for promotion until the next reorg which happens every 6 months or so. No raises other than my first year due to a freeze. Paid for my own business cards. Lots of great talent left there. Went from amazing job to depressing. Glad I was laid off in the end. My entire team and org is gone less than 6 months of me leaving. I secured millions of outside funds to support our programs. I got laid off and that killed the funding for them. Sad...
