Pros

Excellent benefits, culture Strong CSR Nice people overall

Cons

I started and quit during the pandemic. I was so excited due to the reputation of the company, CSR mission, and employee-centric culture. However, it started poorly when my offer was lowballed and my recruiter basically got mad at me for trying to counter - he threatened to retract the offer. I ended up finally accepting the lowball offer it b/c it was during the pandemic. For perspective, I had one headcount to hire and the salary range for an hourly individual contributor reporting to me came back making more than me, with almost as much stock. Then came into manage a department that never replaced the prior SME manager when he left 5 years prior, just kept shuffling the employees around. The department was held together with a giant roll of duct tape - and then the company almost doubled in size during the pandemic. The policies and procedures weren't scalable, the whole thing needed to be knocked down and rebuilt. And then there was a change in leadership...so trying to make progress was painstakingly slow if at all. I left thinking that really their Finance org runs more like an old school legal firm masquerading as a tech company. It will take time to right the ship and I have no doubt that they'll get there but I didn't have the energy to see it through - especially considering I didn't feel appropriately compensated.

Pros

Seriously, it's all about luck with your manager and territory. If you land a good one, the money can really flow. Honestly, you don't even need to deep dive into the details. Just hope for the best and you might strike gold. It's a real gamble sometimes, but that's how it goes.

Cons

Seriously, these sales quotas feel designed for us to fall flat on our faces. It's wild how management sometimes pushes us towards tactics that feel a little sketch. And don't even get me started on selling IAM; it's a real uphill battle. Honestly, the leadership here just isn't cutting it. It's frustrating to feel like you're set up for failure and not getting the support you need.
