Pros

Amazing people to work with Very large global presence killer sales team good benefits and time off

Cons

Leadership is in Amsterdam Scheduling with leadership is challenging Not enough people on some teams to handle the bandwidth Long hours are expected when not enough staff or you are reprimanded There is no official exit process when you decide to leave the company. You are given your paperwork and said that is all. Management does actively participate but states that you are terminated and leave you with HR.

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)
