Pros
When i first started the pros were: work/life balance, company values and integrity with the customers and the benefit of having a leader who could actually help the team - that quickly faded away in 2022.
Cons
The pay is laughable compared to other SaaS companies and the worst part of SF is the multiple layers of management with most doing absolutely nothing to either help you grow or close a deal. We would have a team meeting to discuss deals only to be told to discuss a deal in a 1:1 with the manager, only to be told to schedule a meeting to discuss the same deal again another time - but no actual help on the deal. The only advice managers would give is to get a partner involved - for everything and i mean everything. Customer has a problem with something sold, get a partner on it - Customer upset about a bill, talk to a partner. And the solution to trying to close a deal was always, lets lower the price and see if that gets them, especially in January or July.... no real concern for the customers, just get the docusign signed and then a month later try to build another project. They act like they care about the customers, but they don't anymore. It is sad because I came to SF with the thought that they did care - oh well. Also, no way to progress your career unless you are a "yes" man/woman ---- way too many of those in leadership positions that they didn't deserve on merit for sure.
