Pros

competitive benefit packages and perks

Cons

Other companies offer better compensation packages now, causing employees to leave. Slowly becoming more and more like a call center with metrics that do not necessarily improve the customer experience but is only there to show as numbers for the upper management HR is incompetent. A member of the management can get away with using company name to borrow money from subordinates and not pay it back. HR would pretend to look into the issue without any action, giving the impression that such acts are tolerated. Support people are required to create tickets for everything, even for alerts that are dismissable - ticket farming. Teams are encouraged to do this to show their "productivity" in numbers (metrics), even if doing so puts most of their time in the ticket creation than on actually resolving customers issues.

Where sales careers die

Pros

Lots of products to sell. Many potential customers. Remote based work culture. Flexibility. Entrepreneurial. Potential growth via partners. Some solid AEs out there. A few good SEs. But very short staffed.

Cons

If you are a senior sales executive, then this applies to you: - No promotions. This company strongly prefers to hire from the outside. If you're looking to grow your career… Trust me… This is not the place. The recruiter will lie about this. The head of global enterprise sales will too. - Less than 10 percent will hit their number. This has been consistent for many many years. Ask to see the numbers… - No raises. - Heavy emphasis on KPIs. - Weak nit-picky expense policy (daily per diem for meals is insulting). - Unethical behavior at the sales management level is tolerated. - Must be political internally to get ahead. Results and consistent performance won't matter. - Sales VPs only care about themselves. They do not serve the team or the front line. So be prepared to continually kiss butt. I can't do it. - Truly useless sales management. Ivory tower "us vs. them" mentality of VPs vs. reps. - Our top performers are leaving in droves. Never a good sign. - Extremely short staffed (for over a year) in sales support. - This stinks.
