-Depending on what team you're on, you get a lot of autonomy. (on the flip side, see con- if you're on the wrong team)
-Good benefits
-Fun events & Travel opportunities
Cons
-People getting laid off left and right all time. One minute you have a team mate and the next they are just gone.
-Management is top heavy and operates like a fraternity
-If you're on the wrong team every move is watched
-Your job is NEVER safe
-Imagine with the acquisition that was just announced by Apollo that the reason for layoffs was to become lean before transition. I would hedge bets that this will also continue to be a numbers game and positions are going to be uncertain
-Sales plans are always ambiguous and there were even times where the plan wasn't out until several months into the year. Expected to sell over and above but didn't always have a sales plan to follow. It was always changing.
