Pros

Leading edge on technology quick acquisition integration with existing product line Relevant in discussions with clients

Cons

Sales dragged into PS involvement way to much bringing selling efforts down by easy 35% No leadership at the top down. Only direct 1:1 leadership with direct line management - ok except when company revenue is be scrutinized, leaders swoop in for validation business is being run correctly when they should be evaluating that every step of the way. Leadership busy positioning themselves for their next gig

Pros

They hardly ever fire anyone.

Cons

They hardly ever fire anyone. Comp plan is terrible. You get paid on Opportunities sources but there isn't any criteria written down on what makes a discovery call turn into an opportunity. Leading them to cherry-pick deals and choose if you get paid or not. They don't have product market fit. The entire new logo space didn't close anything last year. Getting placed in a good, high paying seat is all dependent upon nepotism. No clear path for growth. Constantly moving the goal post and changing promotion criteria. The promotion path leads you to a role that has historically not closed a deal and the role is a huge pay cut for some BDR's leading to high churn or career BDR's.
