Pros

None. It is difficult to get things done because the company is rigidly process-driven. Takes weeks to turn around quotes, and even longer to book actual orders. I spend most of my time making excuses to customers about our inability to get anything done in a reasonable amount of time.

Cons

Low base salaries, high/unachieveable quotas, and minimum achievement thresholds before ANY commission is paid. If you accept a sales position, negotiate the highest base salary you are able to get, because they are very stingy on commission payment.

Pros

- Strong global presence allows for diverse projects, clients, and opportunities - Enabled and encouraged to learn new technologies, use tools, and grow skills - Generally supportive teams and cross collaboration - Great work-life balance in many roles

Cons

- Compensation and raises can be slow, infrequency, and below market - Personal Development review process can be unclear and slow - Processes and decision making around them can feel very outdated, there seems to be a lack of structure and clarity around many HR and business operations areas - Very little employee recognition - Critical benefits information isn’t distributed well and there is zero follow up actions to ensure we have all important access/accounts set up
