Pros

Young company with investment being made into the product

Cons

No direction from management, mainly as ALL the middle managers are incompetent, clueless about the industry they are selling into and inexperienced in selling information, most have come from the same company selling conferences previously. The others are overpaid "old friends" with big egos and nothing to contribute strategically. Main jobs are split by a small group of friends who have driven out any decent sales people. Upper management seems clueless in stopping the rot. Despite being told otherwise year on year performance has declined. A recruiter who lies to prospective hires in earshot of current employees. If you go there for an interview, just ask the manager how long he has worked there, and how many people he manages? You will hear LIES LIES LIES - just double check their linkedin profiles.

Pros

Supportive team, collaboration within the team

Cons

You never get a raise or promotion, not even annual inflation adjustment. Higher management doesn’t care about you or any other employees. They are only concern about generating more revenue without even appreciating or giving any perks to their employees.
