Pros

Great wlb. hybrid office. if you need to get something done outside of work, its not a big deal as long as you get your work done. benefits are great and very family friendly. There are many projects to work on and switch around internally

Cons

Lower compensation than I could find elsewhere. Bonuses are slim to none - same with RSUs, which are rare and you are lucky if you get any. And even if you do, most likely it will be a fairly low amount. A lot of work and effort is needed by you to get promoted past band 8/9

Pros

Training and ability to move around in the company are fantastic. Pay is not on par with some others, but it is competitive. Benefits are top notch. Culture is active

Cons

Quotas make attainment nearly impossible, and they are known for moving the goalpost. Pay and retention lack. Help from management with closing deals is great, but don't expect help when you need to voice concerns.
