Pros

This can be a good opportunity if you have no previous experience and can't find anything else. The rhythm is rather relaxed and the people in the company are amazing.

Cons

The retribution is rather low and it is actually easy to find another company with the same friendly environment and way better benefits. Another downside is that most of their products use outdated technologies and practices, so not much to learn from them. It is also complicated to grow inside the company and there's no clear career growth path for most people. We've been promised a savings fund for almost a year now, with no news about it. Also, the company didn't benefit much from implementing mandatory assistance to the office from Tuesday to Thursday, there was a lot of backlash and little to no response from upper management.

Pros

Good products with large customer base. Product development is innovative and willing to work directly with customers. Base pay for sales reps is improving after the acquisition by Emerson Electric. The Emerson Electric acquisition is received positively by the customers. Internal training is good and readily available. Collaboration between the various departments is excellent.

Cons

New management is focused on running the sales organization by spreadsheet metrics vs. obtaining and improving customer relationships. Product pricing and sales approval processes are very complex. Customers are seen as captives and when they request reasonable changes to their contract, they are often denied if there is not significant revenue growth (results in bad relationships). Sales management is spending more time in internal meetings than with customers and their reps.
