Pros

-Extreme flexibility (potential con if abused) -OPPORTUNITY to make a lot of money -Chance to help people -Your own business This is a VERY tough business, but if you stick the first couple years of learning out, you can be very successful. Have a good +/-6 months of fallback savings to cover bills/ expenses when starting out.

Cons

- 100% comission -Takes a couple YEARS to build business -Lots of cold calling/phoning -Learn as you go -SPLIT comissions when starting out - ~70% turnover = your clients go to someone else when you decide to change careers

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
