Pros

Your team support you. I rarely see internal team conflicts after being here many years. Work/life balance is good enough, not great but not bad either.

Cons

Pay is terrible. Easily 10-15% lower than average in the area. Pay raise average is <2.5%. After the storage products merge between Dell/EMC/Xtremio, the products went downhill due to internal politics. While the engineers from Dell & EMC worked together, the teams and management from Xtremio are impossible to deal with, no communication or collaboration. We have meetings between many scrum teams and they barely show up. Most of the promoted higher ups are from Xtremio so their teams are well protected, no consequences from their actions. After the product launch, they took all the credits to themselves and became the main project leaders while a bunch of Dell & EMC people got reassigned. Ridiculous.

Pros

the people on your team, lots of free food and snacks. sadly thats it

Cons

too many! ive done sales for a long time and i dont remember being in a place thats managed at this poor of a level. this is something you would expect from a start up company not fortune 50. your pay will constantly change and not for the better. they also do a lot of shady stuff with that. un-attainable quota for your account set that will end up putting you in a PIP situation which is basically where you will be let go cause you wont be able to finish it within 30 days. micromanaging using KPI's that make no sense so everyone's just faking them. top to bottom SMB is horrible and just not worth your time and effort. find another company thats more stable so you dont burn your time here and then just leave. everyone who got promoted to MB is either looking for another job, miserable or was let go.
