      Pros

      Good culture. Friendly people. Salary and benefits have been good. Good flexibility in meeting work-life balance. Company hopes to IPO or be sold to some other company in the next couple of years and could lead to financial upside.

      Cons

      The business is heavily dependent on mainframe, Remedy and Control-M. We are trying to pivot to new technologies but in the process have been loosing sellers, making it hard to meet targets. Concern that owner's exit strategy could put a strain on people and culture pre and post transaction.

      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.
