Pros

Some of the highest quality (smarts and work ethic) people I have ever worked with Many passionate people who believe in what they are doing Market leader in terms of technology and capability

Cons

Private equity ownership has unsurprisingly dehumanised the organisation. It used to feel like a family but is now all about the numbers (at the expense of customers or quality) Heavy focus on marketing and market positioning (according to research firms such as Gartner etc.) has shifted attention away from ability to execute and doing the right thing for customers. Head office mentality where the specific needs and challenges of regions outside of US are often not taken into account. Politics - to get ahead you need to know how to play the game.

Pros

Interesting take on customer experience using AI. Good pay for the role.

Cons

Favoritism amongst certain individuals and teams. I've heard that some sellers were removed from accounts just as they were going to close deals and therefore lost their commission. The messaging is that you can speak to any leader but that is not always the case.
