Pros

The pay is competitive with a good portion being variable - this helps in keeping people motivated to work hard.. The company has a good brand value in the IT products and services space, and has a global presence.

Cons

Bad acquisition strategy, with most acquisitions just languishing. The company tries to create value from multiple products, but customers do not seem to buy into this vision. They missed the SAAS boat and are now struggling to find a way to stay relevant. Honestly I believe that the company has good engineering talent, but very bad management doing the execution and strategy. There is no real innovation and cutting edge work being done at this company. No people at the company who can be called "visionary".

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.
