Pros

Decent base pay bonus money if the sales group makes their numbers and the solution architect snags most of the professional services hours

Cons

Highly political. Solutions architects compete against each other to get chosen by Account Executives in presale situations. They want to monopolize the professional services hours for themselves.Turf wars over the best accounts and account executives. Managers play favorites based on drinking buddy status instead of skill and productivity.
