Pros

Amazing product and great value proposition. Easy to sell from that perspective. Easy to buy into and nice to know you sell a first rate product.

Cons

Lots of talk about equality for women and they have made some strategic hires in that regard but overall women do not get promoted easily internally. In fact you have to ask yourself why all the hype and marketing around equality if the company didn't have an issue. Many of the old peoplesoft guard get the plum management positions and they are not nearly as qualified as the women who have proven themselves capable and are not even considered for the roles. Generally speaking the management is terrible. They are lucky that the teams are motivated and love selling the product in spite of their management team. Extremely low morale across the sales team. Revolving door of managers doesn't help and bad management choices have the sales teams focused on the wrong things.

Pros

Love the fun and culture of the company. Supportive team members and cross team collaboration makes getting things done easier. Management focuses on career development and is supportive of lateral moves.

Cons

Pay is not competitive, no annual raise for inflation, stock is given out instead of pay increases. Poor performance doesn't mean that employees will get cut, not a very competitive environment.
