Pros

- People are very friendly - Facilities (gym particularly) are top notch - There are some big deals available - Good internal opportunities if you seek them yourself - New CMO is driving some much needed change

Cons

- Sales data and tools are really poor - Business development not closely aligned to sales in Dublin, creating problems - Not near enough training on the products to become comfortable enough to cold call a CFO to talk about their challenges - Culture is negative on the whole - Don't feel like true sales people, a lot of the planning is done by manager/director and the rep executes their vision for each deal - Stale organisation with little direction (in Dublin anyway) - High turnover of staff due to the above points - Learning is limited to oracle based processes and tools, not sales, commercial, or professional development that you will use in your next job - Middle management are generally not experienced in running/closing deals

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
