Pros

At this point - none! There were pros 5 years ago. But now it’s a sinking ship, with clueless, ego narcissists and boomers in leadership.

Cons

Everything. It's a terrible place for Sales people. Run! There is no money, deals, or good comp plan here.

Pros

Good pay and benefits Interesting problems to solve

Cons

The reviews citing toxic behavior are accurate. Titles protect position. Fear has become normalized. Leadership within the CRO organization is highly politicized, unhealthy and unsafe.
