Pros

excellent product. that’s literally it.

Cons

- terrible terrible micro-management - all AEs leave as soon as they get their shares vested in the first year. No one in Singapore office stays more than exactly a year - racism (all upper management management is white , no locals ) - quota is IMPOSSIBLE to hit . Too US centric. This is Asia, same rules don’t apply but management is thick skinned and delusional - literally selling between $100-$500 deals as average selling price (almost embarrassing)
