Pros

Great culture - people work hard and are committed, but still great work-life balance. Everyone is empowered.

Cons

Company has been around a while, so it does not exactly have that cutting edge "Silicon Valley" culture. I wonder if management is sometimes too cautious in taking risks.

Pros

Some pockets of really smart, dedicated people, especially on the SE and engineering teams. Great coffee machines and free snacks. Very good benefits package.

Cons

Company is trying to deliver all solutions to all market segments. From self serve small to large scale enterprise with different sales teams for all. Plus overlays for outbound which they just laid off almost the entire sales team. The biggest issue is Genesys doesn't understand (or chooses to ignore) the cloud based revenue recognition and aligning their comp plans with the cloud market. The only commission paid out to sales is on the committed value in the first year, not the variable upside during the length of the contract. Sales rep gets screwed on true value of deal while Genesys recognizes all the variable revenue. So, the reps leave after a year or two when they realize they are doing all this work, increased quotas, and then only realizing about 33% or less of their worth in commissions.
