Pros
This position offers more job security than others at this company. There is less pressure on cyber technologists than account executives or customer success managers, who are more KPI centric. Work/life balance is very good. Culture is also good. It is easy to ask for advice or help from other CTs. There are ways to progress internally and enable future learning and growth. Pay is good but not completely on par with other sales engineering positions.
Cons
Pay structure does not benefit this position as much as it does account executive (primarily pre-sales) or customer success managers (post-sales) which receive commission. There is also pressure from account executives which requires some push back. This position is somewhat undervalued at this company and this is reflected in the pay compared to other sales engineer positions at other companies. Management gives much more focus and praise to sales positions at this company than cyber technologists.
