Pros

This used to be a good place to work. Met a lot of great people here (none of which are still there).

Cons

I've never seen a company go down hill so fast. At one time, they hired great talent with a ton of potential. Fiberlink used to be a great place to work. Since the change in management, the large majority of the good reps have moved on to bigger and better companies that actually pay well. The few talented people left are taking full advantage of the open vacation policy and are actively interviewing. Fiberlink has turned into a revolving door that hires glorified telemarketers. I Couldn't agree more with the poster that said management is LOST. If you're not one of the chosen few, forget it. I also must agree with the previous post that mentioned rampant 'line crossing' even from managers. I'm shocked this company hasn't been sued yet.

Pros

-Awesome Location in Center City, occupying the 20th floor which makes for great views of the city -Most of the AE's are goodpeople, and are the only ones that try to make a positive team atmosphere -Having IBM on your resume will open doors down the line in your career -Sales Managers care about your success -Exposure to the Channel and C-Level Execs. -Relaxed work hours and PTO policy

Cons

-Like other reviews have mentioned, unless you are a "chosen one" or "favorite" you will not get leads or opportunities -Salary is way to low, which is why they are now just hiring kids out of college with no real experience in IT Sales -Revolving door, each day I came in someone left and someone new started -Upper Management is misleading and keeps sales force in the dark -Cold calling is an archaic form of selling, and the market is so saturated it is impossible to make goals -Work environment is negative, as the experienced Reps are bitter because of the way leads and opportunities are handled -No upward mobility, make a bunch of calls for a year if you can make it that long, and get a better Job elsewhere
