Pros

Pace of change. The company talks about transformation - with the provision of it's innovative solutions. Some opportunities in marketing to build the face of this change and to build the awareness of this well respected brand. Some great products and serves some of the worlds biggest brands. Some good people in the organization, but also very male driven environment.

Cons

No on-boarding that is useful on any of the systems or products. You are expected to know pretty much immediately about all the products, people and operate in a sink or swim type environment. Lots of back-stabbing, people aren't very nice to people in general (not in all cases) but that is caused by how they are treated by the higher ups. Women are not promoted very often. Company brings in Sr Male Directors more often than promoting a Female Senior Manager.

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.
