Pros

Nice colleagues. Good location. Work hours flexibility.

Cons

Very good appraisals every year, but little reward. No personal or bonus plan either. Friends of Managers got promotions and rewards, but not those who actually worked hard. Lack of proper benefits and the fact that employees were pretty much seen as numbers. Plus most salaries were lower than average in NL.

Pros

One of the best jobs I've ever had. Unfortunately my role got cut due to layoffs but I would have stayed here for years if that weren't the case. Great autonomy to employees, great collaboration, communication and organization. Good leadership.

Cons

Unexpected rounds of layoffs, but it was the case in tech for a while.

Pros

not many exist for sales execs in the US

Cons

lack of product fit in US market, leadership changes direction and strategy often, sales rigor is off the charts (MEDDPICC on steriods, etc)
