Pros

Very good company to work for. The compensation is very competitive and the benefits and company services are also very generous.

Cons

They have lay-offs every April and if you're not in a strategic area of the company, watch out! Now that they are private and owe Bain Capital a lot of money to cover the buy-out, they have cut out a lot of the perks to employees.

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.
