Pros

- Average work pressure. As developer, no crunch time. (But QA's do) - Very stable job security. Layoffs rarely happen. - Reasonable salary/benefit.

Cons

- Hiring managers usually have very very high expectation during interview. - Development process is nightmare. - Product management has problems. - A large percentage of employees are Chinese. While being Chinese is not really problem, it does take a hit in corporate culture. A lot of them don't have very good English skill. They're not confident to have a chat in English. And many others simply don't like to talk in English. So the Chinese tends to stay in their own groups. If you don't speak Chinese, you will find it rather challenging to get to know people.

Pros

- On target OTE and uncapped commissions - Great overall work culture - A lot of cool Field marketing events - Ability to expense dinners, entertainment, gifts for clients - Great company vision and a broad security fabric portfolio with several third party validations for a well-known cybersecurity brand makes it easy to sell and be successful.

Cons

- New business quotas are the same for every seller at least on my team, who all have very different territories, some with more white space heavy accounts that can be much more challenging to hit quota compared to other territories. Quotas went up by 20% from previous year. - Too many internal systems to navigate - processes and sales enablement tools could be more efficient - You can be the top performer in your US sales segment, and still not make it to President's Club because of the way it's structured - competing against different segments and only top 3-4% get to go each year. Rewarding top performers in general is an area needing improvement in my opinion.
