Pros

Reasonable work life balance. Can work from home. Flexible hours. Adoption of agile methodologies. Competitive compensation, though bonuses are partial due to company goals not achieved.

Cons

Stagnant and slow-paced organization. Lots of legacy stuff. Modern technologies are late to be adopted, if at all. Not the best place to be in if you think about your career future. Low retention, good people are the first to leave. Employees are the least important, with workforce reduction and no HR presence on site.

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.
