Pros

Some very good, very talented people. Good inter-team communication. Some benefits are great. Some scheduling flexibility. Some managers are great.

Cons

Egotists and bullies crush innovation and inspiration while management looks on. Lack of 360 reviews. Management gives lip service to career development of their teams. Acronyms do not make good brand names, especially when no one in the company knows what they all refer to.

Pros

They hardly ever fire anyone.

Cons

They hardly ever fire anyone. Comp plan is terrible. You get paid on Opportunities sources but there isn't any criteria written down on what makes a discovery call turn into an opportunity. Leading them to cherry-pick deals and choose if you get paid or not. They don't have product market fit. The entire new logo space didn't close anything last year. Getting placed in a good, high paying seat is all dependent upon nepotism. No clear path for growth. Constantly moving the goal post and changing promotion criteria. The promotion path leads you to a role that has historically not closed a deal and the role is a huge pay cut for some BDR's leading to high churn or career BDR's.
