Pros

Digital AE team has great leadership and amazing people Pay and benefits are competitive Great stepping stone into enterprise sales

Cons

They aren’t promoting out of the salt lake office and it doesn’t make any sense They’ve hired people out of this office and now there is no promotion path unless you’re willing to relocate Culture of workday is changing and isn’t as great as it used to be Since Aneel stepped back and Carl took over, things have gone downhill
