Pros

Basic+OTE(even though the contract states that it can be reduced at any given time)

Cons

Lack of transparency. Culture of lies and favouritism. Toxic environment. No expense account: the employees will have to advance all expenses like laptop, phone, business travel, even way ahead of trade shows and get lucky to be reimbursed if at all. Be prepared to get conned out of your commission without warning.

Pros

Ha! That's a good one.

Cons

Can you say "total eclipse"? That most accurately describes the amount of pure darkness (i.e. lack of transparency, accountability, honesty, decency and scruples) within this company. If you want to move your whole life across the country to work in a desert utterly devoid of values and professionalism, an organization that gives you their word and then breaks it at the drop of a hat without the slightest hint of remorse, then Cognite is your huckleberry. This is a place that apparently has no issues with partnering with certain third-parties like background check vendors that violate the privacy and undermine the integrity of their employees, because Cognite's management does exactly the same thing. Some companies enjoy treating their in-house people like chopped liver; Cognite would rather not wait that long. Communication is non-existent and 100% dishonest at the same time. Bad faith business is the order of the day. There's an old saying which says something to the effect that "when you are halfway done with a deal, you still have 99% to close". If you are misfortunate enough to receive and accept any offer of employment from Cognite, take heed: you're not even 0.000001% closer to working one second there. A rotting fish stinks from the head down. One star review = NO STAR REVIEW.
