Pros

Market leading products in most areas. Lots of opportunities for personal growth in regional positions etc. OK benefits and good salary for experienced high performers. Work/life balance. Isrealy r&d culture is cooler and more nimble than most US companies.

Cons

Top management envy faster growing competitors. CP grows 0-5% as a company most periods, but asks 23-27% from most reps, so most fail to meet targets, killing motivation. Marketing funds are very limited, and number of sales head counts per dollar is way lower than competitors.

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
