Pros

Talented people/colleagues, opportunity to work in fast-paced global environment, good benefits/very competitive salary, and the opportunity to learn a lot about diverse products and processes

Cons

Change for its own sake/no long-term building plan ever lasted more than 12 months. Expectations at the top were that new people (cycled in every year) would make immediate and positive differences, but there was never patience to grow solid foundations to set up change for success

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.
