Pros

Very interesting projects, passionate colleagues, good pay. I liked the leadership principles: they provide a common framework of understanding, making internal communication and decision-making more efficient.

Cons

- Poor work/life balance, stressful - The amount of collaboration/help between colleagues is not substancial, despite the fact that colleagues are great people. Employees have little time to spare for collaboration. - You have to be manager-obsessed rather than costumer-obsessed : goals coming from your manager have to be completed in a timely fashion, even if the quality of what you deliver to customers has to suffer. (LPs "disagree and commit" and "deliver results")

Pros

-Great place to learn -Work with some of the smartest people in the industry -Flexibility/autonomy in schedule (not impacted by RTO)

Cons

-Constant reorgs and shifts in leadership: I went through a reorg almost every January and had 6 managers in 2.5 years. Inconsistent leadership makes it hard to feel aligned to a company/team vision or to feel supported. -Promotions are highly political and your manager plays a huge role in whether you advance. Managers rarely have career conversations with reps, which leaves little real path for growth. Good managers want to see their team develop and help them get there. -Comp plan changes reduced sellers' ability to accelerate and lowered pay year over year. Comp plans are dictated by Operations, not Sales Leadership.
