Pros

- Excellent Benefits - Insurance covers things you never thought it would - Excellent Work/Life Balance - Autonomy - Ability to learn and grow through training programs offered (Lynda.com and others) - Access to great sales tools (like DiscoverOrg and Sales Navigator) - Some of the smartest technical resources around - The best of intentions

Cons

- Passive aggressive culture - #1 reason I'm leaving - Very expensive software that's quickly becoming a commodity (or already has in some cases) Services are even more expensive - NO official rules or policy around performance reviews (or if there is no one follows it) - It took 5 months to get a comp plan for 2018 - Confusing marketing practices with completely outdated tools that take a ton of time to use (to invite prospects to an event you literally have to re-write each email - mail merge is impossible) - Redundancy of account planning using a tool that looks like it came from and didn't grow out of the 90's - No sense of urgency to change - at least not at the tactical level which is the level most of us work in - If you're not in HQ you're a bit out of touch

Pros

Great co-workers and healthy environment. Benefits are amazing. Demands are reasonable.

Cons

I think this is true for many places right now but post-COVID campus has become mostly remote work. You have to organize with your team when you want to have face-to-face interactions.

Pros

Benefits: health coverage, on-site gym, childcare, healthcare center, and more. Work-life balance: predictable hours, flexibility for parents and a culture that doesn't expect you to grind 60-hour weeks.

Cons

Compensation lags the market, slow career advancement and promotions can take years. Change-resistant culture and new ideas move slowly. Leadership team manages up to just one person.
