Pros

Great community, small company so each person can feel like their work is important.

Cons

stressful environment because of management. everyone is always worried of getting laid off and the politics within management is strange. Many are not suitable to be at certain positions and this creates a lot of stress for many people because they do not know where to go to ask questions. lots of politics.

Pros

Higher pay than academia. You can make 125-175k based on your territory. Sometimes 200k+ but you're gonna saturate your market and not sell a lot the next year. Obviously this year with tariffs you're not going to make much. Great coworkers. Great technology.

Cons

We had layoffs, which shocked everyone, it was handled poorly (IT and HR didn't coordinate and people were just locked out of their computers). We were constantly told not to worry about layoffs because we're seen as assets and not liabilities. Lots of structural changes without communication and clear policies which causes confusion. Sales management doesn't care a lot of about customer satisfaction. Promotions are politics and favorites. People are promoted without having great people skills. If you don't get along with your local team, you're basically gonna have a bad time. I only stayed because the pay was good and I could not find a job that pays more. Not because I like the company values.
