Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Some products are decent but most are legacy with different branding. Internal IT is superb and amongst the best I have seen. Seems well funded and some offices are nice.

Cons

Really poor products and engineering. Not sure why they dont throw everything at R&D. Very slow and inept management most of whom are part of the furniture and out of touch with the real world.

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.
