Pros
Management is so incompetent that you can do anything you want because no one knows what’s going on. Sales job where you sell a highly technical product and there’s no expectation to actually know the products. Great if you’re a half wit sales rep, which SolarWinds hires lots of.
Cons
Quota setting is egregiously unfair across the floor. Management will say quotas were set using account spend and then not be able to explain why someone with your exact same spend got a 100K less quota. That difference being whether you make any bonuses or attain at a respectable level. When questioned, upper management will brush it off and start lying about the way quota was set just to confuse you so you don’t probe more. Upper management has proven vastly incapable of making decisions until it’s too late. VP’s and Directors hide in their offices all day and have little interaction with reps. Which makes so that they never have their finger on the pulse with business and customers. So they continually do outdated, detrimental sales practices. Going back to my other point, NO one is paying attention anyways so these highly paid “leaders” continually go year after year like this.
