Pros

- Great Culture - Great Engineering Support for Sales - Good commission structure - Most team members are down to earth and not territorial - Fast sales cycle - VP in sales is high energy and approachable - seemingly genuine about listening to the floor. - Great opportunities to make a lot of commission - makes up for the con in base $ - Rewarded for excellent performance - club trips, rewards - 2 free catered lunches every week - more often during end of month and end of quarter, snack bar, red bull, cappuccino maker, coffee etc - Free gym membership

Cons

- Little work/life balance BUT with changes to Exempt status' if you are in a certain class, your hours (even on salary) are compensated - Base compensation is below technology industry standard - Little TRUE growth opportunity within this model (there are promotions, but really an increase in sales quota and increase in base pay) unless you want to switch departments outside of sales. - Work you hard and fast - lot get burned out quickly due to the model. - No travel - There are still some sales members that are cut-throat but there are processes in place to protect active deals.

Pros

Most of the engineers are smart and hardworking. With the flagship product being always the focus of development everyone has a common goal.

Cons

Having only one main flagship product is also the cons. There is not enough, or even not any diversification at all.
