Pros

Work life balance, flexible working

Cons

Terrible tech leadership, zero ownership, tech is very disconnected from the business - you build things without knowing the 'why'. The business is slow moving and there are limited opportunities to progress. Uncompetitive salary.

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
