Pros

Name brand makes it easy to get meetings Product is valuable Easy to hit quota even if you are below average at sales

Cons

Below market pay Commission plan is not that good you can get better plans at startups yet they wave an 87% retention rate around 401k match is low max out is lower Health insurance is built for single/young people Family leave is the legal bare minimum Training/onboarding is a confused mess A custom clunky unused CRM (this is not a joke) they are a 4.5 billion dollar company and they donot have salesforce.com or hubspot nothing. You have to manage your pipeline and leads in excel and use your outlook calendar to keep track of opportunities/leads. No call/meeting notes on previous meetings exist make sure you are good at keeping files and you might save yourself a few hours each week trying to find things. This company is cheap and it shows.

Pros

- Great health benefits and salary - A few great colleagues - Talk a lot about inclusion but this has slowly been falling to the wayside - I have been struggling the write this for some time as I wish there were more positive things to say

Cons

- Leadership that does not see anyone or anything but themselves - The company has been imploding for a while lying to the public and the street - Killing off the research model has been the final decision that has made many decide to look elsewhere (including me) - Lay off after lay off has created a culture of fear
