Pros

Great company culture with mentorship opportunities, welcoming managers, and great teams. Fun company events throughout the year to foster morale, motivation, and excitement. Top company in its industry by a landslide so the experience you'll gain early in your career is great and you're selling a great product with notoriety within the industry. Has an amazing team who is dedicated to researching and creating leads, so there is never a shortage of prospects and hardly any prospecting you have to do as a salesperson.

Cons

There is some lack of transparency in terms of career development and sales goals to hit and what the outcomes are thereafter. Seems to be an unspoken rule of working overtime each day if you realistically want to get your workload done. Chaotic process post-sale - lack of support from onboarding teams, sometimes takes days to get an answer while a client is waiting to get started in the product. Certain parameters make it difficult to transition into a different role without excelling in your current one that you may be struggling in.

Pros

Good work-life balance, decent benefits package, flexibility and control over one’s own schedule within reason. Majority of colleagues are fantastic to work with. Generally seems like they actually care about employees. Employee recognition is improving. For the role specifically, builds a lot of great soft skills that are transferable if there’s desire to move into other roles/depts.

Cons

Some aspects of benefits fall a bit short of what other large tech companies offer, but not terribly so. Putting a lot of emphasis on AI, which wouldn’t be a con if not for the uncertain landscape of job security and given some recent actions from other tech companies to fund their AI initiatives in favor of employee benefits. Promotions difficult to achieve at times even with proper performance. For this role, working with customers always has its difficulties and can sometimes feel like you’re the punching bag for things out of your control.
