Pros
For my first 3-4 years here, I experienced workplace nirvana. Awesome product, smart colleagues, flexible hours after escaping Biz Dev. Now? My immediate team remains a group of smart people, but the environment is completely toxic. Stepping into the office each day feels like entering Purgatory. Easier to find parking, though.
Cons
1. If you're on any sort of commission plan, track what you should receive yourself. Comp absolutely will get it wrong, and do so regularly. You'll have to fight that battle, and corrections can be delayed a quarter or more. 2. Massive dishonesty from upper management. Moving to a new role? Get ready for months of limbo as you wait for literally every layer of management, up to and including the CEO, to approve the move. Meanwhile, in many cases, you'll be expected to begin the role while you wait. 3. As others have mentioned, everyone outside of senior management fits into one of two camps: A. Dearallthatisholygetmeoutofhereihatethisplace. B. Well, if everyone else leaves, SOMEONE has to sell the software...I can't help but make money! It's not an environment conducive to productivity, never mind mental health.
