Pros

Good paycheck and benefits if you are single it's a great company. There's plenty of work especially in the software sales and development group. If you can find a good manager you'll be set. I've seen people come and get experience and move on.

Cons

This is not a place for someone who is looking for work and family balance. You need to be able to sacrifice time with the family to make sure your projects are completed on time. It's hectic and crazy especially during release time. The code is a bit buggy and copy and paste so there's a lot of clean up to be done. Culture is regional, some locations seems to have it good.

Pros

They hardly ever fire anyone.

Cons

They hardly ever fire anyone. Comp plan is terrible. You get paid on Opportunities sources but there isn't any criteria written down on what makes a discovery call turn into an opportunity. Leading them to cherry-pick deals and choose if you get paid or not. They don't have product market fit. The entire new logo space didn't close anything last year. Getting placed in a good, high paying seat is all dependent upon nepotism. No clear path for growth. Constantly moving the goal post and changing promotion criteria. The promotion path leads you to a role that has historically not closed a deal and the role is a huge pay cut for some BDR's leading to high churn or career BDR's.
