Pros

Lots of career path opportunities when you know the right people and play the game. Good pay and benefits for the industry. Good work from home opportunities.

Cons

Big machine, little cog. Hard to be noticed, even when significant and above expectation work is completed. Work-life balanced is sometimes sacrificed, especially for traveling employees.

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.
