Pros

You may find yourself lucky and find a team that actually works together. You may need a job NOW, then please apply here, it's just slightly better than the queue at the job centre

Cons

Office facilities are horrendous - new office with temperature issues - so you could be in the Bahamas or in Arctic. Management in UK and parts of USA are fond of micro-management, so you are constantly wary of actually forgetting to tell them you have completed a task. There is a lot of backstabbing in this organisation, which i have not found anywhere else during my many years of employment elsewhere, you cannot trust the feedback you are given by management because it is all dependent upon their mood of the day. You don't get paid bonuses on time or properly. There is a lot of talk about loyalty, but there is no such thing.

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.
