Pros

Able to travel to great locations as part of the work and the people working here are great. Love the international atmosphere in the company and the diversity of the work.

Cons

Towards its employees little empathy and compassion. Everything seems to be operated towards the success of the company and all employees need to contribute, but towards the employees there's little reward or celebration of success or recognition of natural talent

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)
