Pros

The projects allow you to be involved with large projects of interesting clients. Opportunity to travel and to work with the customers' teams. Experience with new and modern frameworks.

Cons

The product is very buggy, and so much time is spent on troubleshooting. You are taken from one project to another very quickly, jumping to the mess that was left by the person who worked on it before, because he had no time. The upper management itself has no clear vision and do not listen to the warnings and requests of the employees; it is focused on revenue and isn't focused on core problems, such as product quality and employees development. They give big promises to clients which can be hardly kept after letting the employees sweat a lot.

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)
