Pros

Cogent's product set is small (primarily IP bandwidth), but highly competitive within the market. Mostly sell on "price". has excellent customer service and support. The team environment, for the most part, is young and energetic.

Cons

Very small/limited product set, compete on "price" only even though management always tell you sell on value. If it's truly a value proposition, they shouldn't need to always try to lower the price, which shows more desperation than anything. The daily grid of transactional sales is rather monotonous. Constantly rule and policy changes

Pros

Free coffee and soda that's it.

Cons

Where do you even start. The company has no direction and the stock has dropped over $70 in a year. All the cutbacks that they make to cover losses come from reps compensation. You have to clock in and clock out everyday like you work in a candy factory and if you miss clocking in or clocking out they fire you. So many lazy people .They equip you with a laptop from 2017 that barely works and an iPhone SE from 2006. Most of the prospects block the numbers so cogent can't call . They have no one to sell to.
