Pros

It starts with leadership. They have created a culture that rewards performance and encourages work/life balance.

Cons

If you don't like change, this isn't the place for you. Even though we are a fairly large, publicly traded company, we are still a growth company. I like this, but some find it difficult.

Pros

Management is kind and helpful, the company's goals are clearly expressed and I like that we strictly sell technology instead of dipping into 401k, worker's comp, etc. Quotas are easy to meet.

Cons

I have continually expressed wanting to move upward in the company. I am consistently overachieving in quota obtainment, partnership opportunities, and training for the team. They will not promote internally unless it is on fiscal year which loses a lot of valuable talent but would rather hire someone with less qualification externally to fill roles for management quota obtainment.

Pros

Remote. I used to be able to list a lot more but things have drastically changed.

Cons

Stolen RSUs, constant system issues, colleagues constantly quitting with not enough backfill. Leadership positions are no longer offered to remote employees.
