Pros

-Management is helpful, and encourages best practices to be shared amongst reps -Very collaborative environment with a ton of young talent -Team selling is encouraged to increase larger deals -Leader in the market for SEC reporting and top 2 in the GRC space (brand recognition) -All around they try to preserve the culture by hiring high character people

Cons

-Having issues adjusting to being a global reporting company -Market cap is about peaked for SEC reporting -Not adapting fast enough to capture the capital markets space -Needs to improve implementations in the GRC space. Too slow and complicated causing too many competitors to churn in GRC -Increased bureaucracy making it tougher to get issues resolved and deals done quickly internally -Opportunity has become smaller while quotas are getting larger
