Lots of smart hard working people. Pay and package are competitive.

Pros

Fast growing startup, publicly held which made it more interesting

Cons

Field sales management seemed clueless to the realities. Terrible decision making when promoting managers that aren't qualified. Worst manager I ever worked for, 20+ years in the industry.
