Pros

Good Work - Life Balance. For those in the technology field - good opportunity to pick up skills with different technologies. Access to Gartner research and analysts a positive perk, though it can also be a double-edged sword (those who have worked with analysts know what I'm talking about).

Cons

Hard to get noticed. Rewards and recognition many times affected by politics and relationships and not necessarily on the quality of one's work. Many "siloed" groups that don't interact well with each other, with management tacitly supporting this model by not actively encouraging more cooperation, particularly through example. Managers tend to be very territorial, and that attitude is passed down to subordinates.

Pros

Remote work and great benefits

Cons

Compensation consistently lags behind market standards, and the culture suffers from entrenched favoritism that undermines any sense of meritocracy. Certain managers routinely elevate friends they’ve brought into the organization, creating an inner circle dynamic that erodes trust and team cohesion. Decision‑making often feels politically driven rather than performance‑driven, and it shows in how accounts are assigned and supported. There is a noticeable lack of operational understanding at the middle‑management level, particularly around how to structure books of business that give reps a fair shot at success. The result is predictable: widespread underperformance, constant turnover, and a region where hitting quota has become the exception rather than the norm.
