Pros

Talented technologists, novel and original products that should be a sales success if the company was capable of getting its sales, marketing and branding strategy right. Experienced and shrewd buyers of small software companies who have developed great technology but are struggling to generate the capital to invest in sales and marketing.

Cons

Arrogant, superficial, over-confident (UK) execs who are out of touch and unfamiliar with the technology space in which they operate. Execs have zero passion or interest in software, "software quality tools" or software testing; the product could be anything (so long as it 'looks nice'). A distinct lack of interest in staff feelings and welfare; unsurprisingly turnover is high.

Pros

Constantly challenged with new sales cycles, sales challenges, prospects and customers to impress resolve and win. Great technology and great products that are very unique in the industry. Easy to engage customers with product differentiators.

Cons

Sometimes growing company frustrations but that often throws up the chance to grab more responsibility.

Pros

The company has a great solution in a niche market. The ability to manage the entire sales process is insightful and rewarding, especially if you are starting new in the sales field and want to cut your chops.

Cons

Mis-management on a multitude of levels. Lack of strategic marketing (there is no directive on alignment with industry-verticals and too much UK branded themes pushed to the US market), product pricing model and approach is out of sync with testing marketplace, and high levels of micro-management. The company has had high turnover in their sales division - a 100% turnover rate within the last year, not good.
