Pros

You get to work on a lot of things that might be available to you elsewhere and you'll never meet a bigger bunch of highly driven, talented people from diverse backgrounds.

Cons

The leadership is top-heavy, bloated, and feel that because they make millions we should all ignore the skyrocketing cost of living in Boulder. There are so many "Directors" in the company that my title is diluted to the point that customers I meet with make light of how many Directors they've met. All my employees could go elsewhere and get their $30k in "variable pay" elsewhere as market pay salary. They consider your RSU part of your pay but elsewhere it would be a bonus and you'd get paid market pay. You will never hit 100% pay so subtract 25% off of whatever your offer is, even if you work to succeed; You're paid as sales.

Pros

Excellent sales enablement, tools, and internal support. Leadership has done a good job creating an environment where Enterprise Account Executives can focus on selling instead of getting bogged down by administrative tasks. CRM data is clean, processes are organized, and responsibilities between Sales, Customer Success, and Account Management are clearly defined. It’s refreshing to work for a company that invests in the systems and structure needed to help its sales teams succeed.

Cons

Ongoing integration efforts following the Crown Castle Fiber acquisition mean some processes and systems are still evolving. As with most enterprise sales roles, building pipeline requires significant self-sourcing and prospecting across a large territory. The product portfolio is extensive, which creates a bit of a learning curve for new hires but also provides opportunities to solve complex customer challenges.
