Pros

- Absolutely stellar management - Psychologically safe environment - Clear expectations - A general promotion path - Autonomous work and managers who want to see you succeed and will put in the work to help you get there

Cons

- The pay is OK. I believe it could be higher compared to other customer success roles out there. General salary between 75-87k for the segment is considerably less than many companies offering at least 90-110k for the same role. Many people stay for the work-life balance, knowing they could make more elsewhere. However, as much as we wouldn't want it to be this way, money has to take precedent sometimes and that causes great employees to leave. - Target metrics right now (Revenue Retention) are unattainable for my segment. We receive promotion based on this metric, so it's a hard pill to swallow when you miss promotion not because you aren't putting in effort, but because companies are generally lowering software costs due to macroeconomic conditions completely out of your control.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
