Pros

If you are reading this, do NOT accept a sales job there. Abort Mission, go elsewhere. Repeat, save yourselves. The quotas are unattainable, the culture is toxic and the leadership are dead inside.

Cons

The magical company of CB past is gone. It is now the private equity post apocalyptic CB, where all sales reps are treated like peasants, talked down to and given unattainable quotas. The new leaders are a blend of Miranda Priestly (Devil wears Prada)..mixed with Scroodge McDuck and Voldemort. Their employees are nothing but a number and they abuse clients to squeeze every last penny out of them, whilst selling services that no longer work. They reference "AI" a bajillion times a day because its a buzzword they think will trick people into thinking they are investing in the products. The "AI", similar to their "200 data scientists" are all made up. Literally, imaginary. Apollo (current private equity owners) are just putting lipstick on a pig. Then they will take that little piggy to market and butcher off whatever pieces of the business they can sell. And then they will move on to their next corporate greed driven project. Are the new leaders Ivy League educated?...Yes. Are they morally and ethically bankrupt?...also yes.

Pros

Culture was amazing before it was acquired by private equity.

Cons

The culture was great (before private equity), which made career advancement a game of social politics.
