Pros

Overall good people on day to day teams who are friendly and helpful. Remote work.

Cons

What was once a vibrant team with strong culture is very much less so and morale is at an all time low. The North American side of this company has been very badly mismanaged and it is starting to show; the seams are coming unraveled and unfortunately the core teams are paying for it by working long/stressful hours to clean up the messes they did not create. Layoffs are beginning to happen (right before Christmas - when the CEO informed the whole company this would not occur a month previous - and with a pittance given to those who were let go) but the management that led the team into this place still remains. Until they really fix the issues, I would strongly advise staying away from this company.

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)
