Pros

Good pay + benefits, good work-life balance, cross-functional exposure

Cons

Terrible leadership and lots of politics, back-stabbing and toxic behavior. No new product pieces have been delivered in the last 2 years and the people that remain are the winners of the politics. Good ones leave because it's not worth it. Half the people are ineffective and cannot take feedback. The other half are get-it-done at all costs - they burn people, get some stuff done and then just leave to amazing places! It's a show off culture rather than genuine hard work/ smart work. There is no "team work".

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.
