Pros

Great network, products, and good tools. Fellow employees are fantastic.

Cons

This company has great people and great potential. Unfortunately this company is run by a person who has created an environment and culture where everyone falls into three categories. Operates out of fear, operates out of "butt" kissing, or both. This is severely damaging to results and does not allow people to perform at their best. If you aren't willing to bow down at the feet of the king and his leaders, you will not get ahead at this company, period. Compensation, RSUs, pay raises depend 100% on your ability to do that very well. Otherwise, the culture will push you into the category of working out of fear. Fear of little compensation, little RSUs, no pay raises, and being fired for not conforming to the kings way. It's a severely toxic culture and won't change until the king is removed. This is not the employees fault. Rather this is the environment that has been created and you either play or get steam rolled. And because of it, customers are suffering the effects of the blind arrogance at the top. Just look at the recent acquisition of ELI, it couldn't have gone any worse.

Pros

Excellent sales enablement, tools, and internal support. Leadership has done a good job creating an environment where Enterprise Account Executives can focus on selling instead of getting bogged down by administrative tasks. CRM data is clean, processes are organized, and responsibilities between Sales, Customer Success, and Account Management are clearly defined. It’s refreshing to work for a company that invests in the systems and structure needed to help its sales teams succeed.

Cons

Ongoing integration efforts following the Crown Castle Fiber acquisition mean some processes and systems are still evolving. As with most enterprise sales roles, building pipeline requires significant self-sourcing and prospecting across a large territory. The product portfolio is extensive, which creates a bit of a learning curve for new hires but also provides opportunities to solve complex customer challenges.
