Pros

It WAS a great company .... several years ago. A company who was giving career opportunities to the employees. But don't expect this now so don't join in this company if you have a little bit of ambition.

Cons

Where to start ? - They remove the advantages - They decrease the salaries by changing the way to calculate the bonus - They don't listen their employees / They don't listen to their customers neither - They push away their clients - They didn't invest in the product for years, ... - Huge turnover in the management - If you're a hard-worker or if you just come at work to watch Youtube & Facebook all day long, you will get exactly the same from your managers. - They closed different offices around the world - People are leaving this company in bulk ! And they don't replace anybody because they are out of budget - They even asked the promoted guys to do again their previous job (L1 support). Since they don't replace the people who leave they are out of resources - And the list can continue.......

Pros

Can do attitude. This is a great company if it did not have the items in CONS. You have the ability to learn and move with the flow. There are tons of opportunities to learn and really make a difference.

Cons

To focused on sales. If you hate selling anything, this is not the place for you. All Management cares about is hitting the goals. Which is not a bad thing, but you have to have a solid product. Most clients are fooled by the Salesman (No brainer here) and Client Services will take the heat. This isnt a problem because you just bring the Sales guy back in the picture. Management is ambitious. But over the top ambitious. They'll shoot themselves in the foot if they have not done so already. - Work/live balance tips on the Work side heavily - Compensation is okay. Build experience and jump to a competitor. - Career Opportunities are available if you can sell. Test yourself, find a product you know is dysfunctional, and see how many people you can sell it to. The first 3 don't count. - CEO is on cloud 9. - Country Vice Presidents: Suck.
