      Pros

      I've worked with amazing leaders for years and have grown a lot. Campus is nice and has a gym

      Cons

      Quotas are ridiculously high and not attainable. It will be near impossible for you to hit your quota for the year.

      Pros

      There's absolutely nothing redeeming to mention here.

      Cons

      The newly appointed leadership has chosen to bolster finances and cut costs by imposing excessively burdensome targets on sales representatives and engineers. However, what leaves one bewildered and resentful is the stark contrast in compensation; managers and top executives seem to profit handsomely from every hard-earned dollar the sales team struggles to achieve. A clear case of "do as I say, not as I do." If they opt to reduce the earnings of sales reps by 20%-30%, it should only be equitable for managers and top leaders to shoulder a proportional 40%-60% reduction in their compensation. The utter lack of fairness in leadership decisions is truly astonishing, and all of this is endorsed by the noxious, ineffective, and indecisive CEO.
