Pros

It's nice to work with other people who are early in career.

Cons

In the BDR program, they treat you horribly and have the attitude that if you don't like it you can leave. They include clauses in your commission plan that allow them to decide whether or not they feel like paying you full commission, even though BDR's are already the lowest paid employees. The training is not relevant to the day-to-day function of the role and doesn't prepare you for the job or roles that follow. The employee retention rate is dropping rapidly because all sales reps at NetSuite are severely underpaid compared to competitors offering double pay for the same work. Because there's so much employee turnover, it's not uncommon to get assigned a new manager every 2 quarters which makes it challenging to continue training and to do well. Management does not respect employees and will openly treat people poorly if they are not in the top 10%. If management wants something done, they incentivize with threats instead of benefits or encouragement. If you have the option, avoid this role at all costs. There are better opportunities elsewhere that will get you farther in your career.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to earn well over $100,000.00 with Standby pay and OT. Plus, mileage reimbursement of $.70 a mile.

Cons

Sometimes tedious work below what I would consider for an experienced FE such as hard drive destruction bin audits and checking in equipment.

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.
