Pros

Company is quickly moving into a new direction. New CEO and new LT are actively driving the change in the company. Focus on Cloud and Open Source have steadily increased over the past quarters. Love attending the various Hackathon's and quarterly celebrations! Offices are being remodeled to new state of the art design and our team can't wait to move into our new space!

Cons

IT is still in yesterday land and always in the way of progress. It will take even more change to fix that.

Very old school technology company.

Pros

I was a part of the company's very first inside sales team. We were titled Business Development Representatives. There was a good sense of camaraderie amongst staff. The pay and benefits were average.

Cons

The company is run very old school for being a technology company. My team was the first to even use a CRM package (Salesforce.com)! Getting the older outside sales reps to use Salesforce was like pulling teeth by the way. The role was very difficult for a number of reasons but the fact that we were supporting outside sales reps who didn't coordinate well with us, weren't engaged with our roles and refused to embrace modern tools like CRM didn't help.
