Pros

Market share leader in IT Service Management means some lattitude to create and explore Stable CEO vision on business service management as the corporate mantra Very competitive salaries and benefits including restricted stock units (RSUs), PTO, and ESPP

Cons

Sales organization sells EVERYTHING for all BU lines of business - almost impossible to enablement against Work is so deep and ambiguous as far as responsibility and ownership that overlap happens regularly and people are reticent to innovate - also, a regular RIF occurs in April every year like clockwork and tends to intimidate and influence employee behavior into political cover vs. productivity

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.
