Pros

Good salary, bonus, working flexibility, work life balance good to certain extend if not fully balanced. Pros general varies project to project and business unit to business unit.

Cons

In my case the work mostly on the maintenance and support side. Me being in RnD not getting complete job satisfaction due to false profile not justifying my skill set. Being developer have to take lots of customer calls and WebEx es as support is not at all knowledgeable.... This puts pressure on developers. We mostly endup indulging ourselves in Customer support rather doing some optimization or features development in the product. No onsite or short term onsite opportunity. Team politics is so much in certain projects because of the monopoly created by seniors team memeber.... 10 yrs same project.... These people just does not allow new comers to groom...they just boycott new comers in every way..be it knowledge share or be it socially involvement. Upper management looks perfectly OK with this as they do not take any corrective actions.

Pros

They hardly ever fire anyone.

Cons

They hardly ever fire anyone. Comp plan is terrible. You get paid on Opportunities sources but there isn't any criteria written down on what makes a discovery call turn into an opportunity. Leading them to cherry-pick deals and choose if you get paid or not. They don't have product market fit. The entire new logo space didn't close anything last year. Getting placed in a good, high paying seat is all dependent upon nepotism. No clear path for growth. Constantly moving the goal post and changing promotion criteria. The promotion path leads you to a role that has historically not closed a deal and the role is a huge pay cut for some BDR's leading to high churn or career BDR's.
