Pros

The group of Wave Engineers I worked with were professional and hard working.

Cons

The volume of work is insanely overwhelming. Long hours are necessary to keep up with the demand and unrealistic timelines. On boarding for new employees is non-existent. Working with other departments is difficult and there are tools to conflict negativity on coworkers. Pay is below the industry standard. Impossible numbers and uncontrollable obstacles achieve to receive a 100% bonus. The morale of the Wave Engineering group is extremely low, due to the amount of workload. Insufficient training for new hires. Lack of processes, tools, resources and manpower. Work/life balance does not exist in this position.

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.
