Pros

- The people are friendly and open - Free lunch and drinks - relatively close to the city center - great working hours; no one works ridiculous overtime

Cons

- The product is buggy, hard to use and in direct contradiction to the company vision they keep propagating - Bad pay - Management interferes when there is no need to, and doesn't interfere when they should - There is no energy here. You don't get the feeling that everyone is working towards a common goal. The people don't really believe in the product, they just do their little job, talk bad about management and the product, and go home at 5

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)
