Pros

Great benefits, lunch provided (pre-COVID), friendly people.

Cons

Almost every team is understaffed and in general people work hard and then burn out. Not enough done in middle management to help reduce burnout. Hardly any real innovation happening. Most changes are reactive to competitors. Due to small team sizes there's a lot of middle management and very little career opportunity outside of North America.

Pros

Competitive compensation and decent earning potential depending on segment. Opportunity to manage complex deal cycles. Broad product suite allows for cross-sell and solution-based selling. Active founder-led company

Cons

Poor management quality and leadership decisions can impact morale. Culture can feel less dull and lack energy especially compared to faster-growing tech companies. Selling the product can feel little exciting. Internal processes and decision-making can feel bureaucratic.
