      Lots of travel

      Logistics field service engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of travel - most projects have a duration of one week; you constantly get to meet new customers. Pay is ~average. Work is easy; little engineering to do, it's mostly building or doing QA for an already pre-built system. Full autonomy when onsite; you bear the full onus to ensure completion on time with little micromanaging. P

      Cons

      All pros could be considered cons - depends on what you're looking for

      Better not have a bad year!

      Account sales engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They pay well, but expect high performance

      Cons

      Tracking more and more sales activities, no room for negotiating yearly quota, lack of motivation to exceed quota because it will make your life harder the next year. After 5 years with the company, I crushed it for 4 years, had 1 bad year and they let me go. Two weeks, no severance, cut me of a few months before my 5 year bonus, no regard to the very large funnel of projects about to hit.
