Pros

A leader in enterprise software with lots of very smart people. Co-CEO (Bill) is very sales friendly and understands how to motivate a team. Great at deal execution.

Cons

Very political. Not the best work/life balance as some people define success by how late/quickly you respond to emails. Slow to innovate. Lots of changes to territories so people are not motivated to cultivate true net new opportunities.

Pros

Good work life balance over time, culture of help, good opportunities to advance and move around, decent pay, ceiling for commissions is high.

Cons

Are increasingly finding ways to dock compensation and make rules around comp confusing and unclear. Internal processes, tools, and policies are incredibly complex. Very difficult to find people to support basic customer issues. Sales becomes a catchall for customer problems, leaves little time to sell. Benefits and pay increases decline year after year.
