Pros

Used to have great exposure for career development. Pay and benefits are solid, but can definitely find that somewhere else without compromising your personal freedom/agency. Still have some really amazing people.

Cons

Sales Dev operates in a start up manner now, constant organizations changes and lack of structure despite the years of establishment. Promotions are consistently pushed for months, with no guarantee of open head count for the next position. Common to see people go through the entire process who hit all the metrics and not make it to the next role. Not a lot of upward mobility, no transparency to keep you hooked. Zero consideration for employee's hard work and ethics, will capitalize on this and make feel you trapped- always forced to adapt to change, and when you prove your ability to overcome adversity they will use this against you since, "you have a proven track record of remaining successful." Fear based tactics, layoffs always looming over your head. The company has drastically changed over the course of the tenure for the worse. There is a lack of strong leadership, and clear organizational issues that severely affect performance are never fully addressed. People will refuse to work with you, and pigeon hole you in certain areas that will not set you up for success. Success is extremely dependent on the team you are on, not equitable at all. If you are well liked, your voice is heard more. Otherwise, they'd rather see you leave the company than actually listen to your concerns. The environment is very controlling, and looks as it will only continue to increase.

Pros

Working for a big name company to boost your resume is the only thing I can take from this job.

Cons

Where do I begin. Micromanaging is over the top. Manager will insert themselves into any deal, conversation etc. To the point where they will kill the deal. They do not give you or the customer a chance to breathe. Territories will play a huge part in if you're successful or not. One person was handed a territory with 90% of customers dropping SF. They expected that individual to hit quota every month. Manager blamed the AE and said they needed to do more. (Manager sat on meetings and helped run meetings with AE) Price of SF is makes it hard to compete with competitors that are offering similar products at a far greater discount. Not sure how the 9% price increase is going to help. two faced management from top to bottom. Managers will smile in your face and say you're doing well and then talk behind your back to your peers. (As if the peers won't relay this message back, because no one is happy with management)
