Pros

Generally people are nice to work with. Enjoyment of your work will depend heavily on what org you are in and which areas you support. Decent starting pay and benefits but offset by slow growth.

Cons

Bonuses NEVER paid at 100% - Been at the company for 10+ years are bonuses are never paid at 100% due to the payout being tied heavily to company performance vs. individual. High executive turnover - 3 different CEO's, 4 different head of Sales, multiple high-level executive turnover across the organization. Expected to be "Available" 24/7. Expected to take on more work with no increased compensation. Slow growth with little professional development. Annual layoffs due to failing parts of the business.

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.
