Pros

- We have a lot of products (too many to fully learn about) - Meetings lots of internal meetings that make the day go by

Cons

I don't know what my quota is... I've asked my manager and VP: no response or they don't even know. To-date, however, its gone up triple since the day I started without any cushion to my salary. Less than 5 people hit their quota. Less than 10% of the company has been here more than a year... everyone quits, fast. As for my book of business... the quota and metrics they hold you too are absolutely delusional. No one can explain to me how to make it longer than a year. People quit all the time. People go months... even whole quarters without being able to sell something.

Pros

Culture was amazing before it was acquired by private equity.

Cons

The culture was great (before private equity), which made career advancement a game of social politics.
