Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

Some people in leadership have been there entirely for far to long. They sales org leadership is totally out of touch with the current sales process. I was let go without any reason as a matter of they my direct manager without notifying me started to send me follow up emails on our meetings and when I asked what reasoning was behind that, the managers response was “no real reason, just a follow up to our conversation”.

Pros

Decent salary. You'll also quickly gain valuable experience in how not to operate on your next job: a lesson that will serve you well in future roles.

Cons

Old-fashioned work culture where you're expected to execute without question. Excessive overtime work, release cycles are chaotic, and there's little appetite for improving systems or sustainability, it's all about following orders rather than thinking critically.
