Pros

Free fruit is a benefit in some offices

Cons

Very poor management with lots of ref tape Unwilling to see the core business model of journal subscription is finished and open agreements are now the way to go. A very old company pretending to be a tech company but majority is still written in SQL and some systems such as logistics are 40 years old

Pros

-Great company -Team has talented, experienced account managers and product experts who know the territory well

Cons

West team management is heavy on micromanagement and sets unrealistic territory targets without rep input — high turnover, and long tenure in company seems to shield this manager from accountability and growth
