Pros

Great solution with humongous positive business impact for end customers and amazing skilled solutions architects.

Cons

Senior sales people are not treated with respect. People's private lives and inner well being are not as important as pumping up the pipeline. Spamming their customers through stealthy/ spooky sales tools, which many of the customers (your most important assets) do not appreciate and in certain countries has even been prohibited by law! Senior sales people are not solely being used for senior activities but more importantly for Pipeline Generation and cold calling/ - qualifying and manual spam list building with. Bullying and management by fear BS strategy.

Pros

It was a great place to get a technical refresh and get familiarity with cloud provider service offerings and niche database solutions.

Cons

Myself and my team had issues getting paid on Commissions. There is no transparency in the process. We had to wait over 8 months to get $20K that was contractually obligated but they failed to pay. The senior management is focused on cost-savings initiatives and cares little for the employees well being. The West Coast in particular is understaffed and way overworked. If you are female - you are paid less than your male counterparts. There is very little representation of females to men in the sales organization. People are leaving right and left due to the toxic nature of the management team. The senior management is stuck on how things were when they were individual contributors and fail to grasp how the markets, products, number of competitors and space has changed. Issues were raised to senior levels of management and HR and HR only supports the toxic managers. There is no room for growth in the role or within the division unless you want to become a Sales Rep.

Pros

-- Pay is great. -- Health Benefits are great. -- Equity is ok. -- Product is solid. -- The work is exciting and the technologies used are great for experience.

Cons

-- Extremely overloaded, we pretty much work around the clock. But still pressured constantly that we must "Raise the bar". -- A large amount of employees have horrible attitudes, very rude and zero compassion. -- Priorities change daily/weekly and are in addition to fully loaded planned work. Everything is a priority and immediately pushed on you with expectation that your current "thing" will be finished as it was a commitment. -- Not hiring, which causes tech debt and current workloads to continue to drown the employees which put in the work. -- Remote workers are no longer aided in any way (You pay your own bills, no benefits to help) -- PTO is unlimited, but you will never get to use it because you are lucky if you even get your evenings and weekends off, much less a work day. -- Requirements are never provided, and the work is demanded on an arbitrary timeline that is never realistic. -- Story points are not story points but timesheet style hourly commitments. -- Team development? Not here, everyone has their own full sprints of hours and you are lucky if anyone is helping you or you helping others. -- Even if you are a rockstar, better than average reviews are extremely limited, if that, as a way for the company to cut costs. -- VERY UNEVEN DISTRIBUTION OF EQUITY FROM TOP DOWN
