Pros

Management willing to consider new ideas and ways of doing things. Good, top talent people in the org. Good sales traction means bonuses are paid, which is nice in this economy. Not everything IT/HR is outsourced.

Cons

Most IT/HR is outsourced and therefore horrible. Too many untalented people in key positions. Web site is old fashioned. Planning process is old fashioned with fixed content and hard deadlines that are regularly missed. Weird org structure with docs centralised and too many people in India. Key products don't work as well as people think.

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.
