Pros

Free Red Bull They only hire attractive women

Cons

Oh lord. Where do I begin? This was supposed to be the "Silicon Valley" of Tampa. It is anything but that. The pay is on average 30% lower than anywhere else. Managers were all promoted from different departments, and have zero management experience. There is more focus on company image than anything else. Arnie the CEO has a monthly "TV Show" that everyone is forced to watch in order to swallow the company line. Literally hundreds of hours of manpower is wasted for no good reason. Employees have to time themselves while at their desk. Managers spend more time checking timers than checking your work. The developers lack skill, knowledge, and talent. The quality of the software has taken a nose dive in a forced attempt to combine four different products into one. Alcoholism is rampant, with managers being visibly inebriated in front of everyone. The CEO is slowly losing his grip on reality. They renamed "HR" to "Talent". The core values changed because one of the senior managers had a temper tantrum. Managers openly harrass women and openly cheat on their wives. Kissing up to managers is encouraged and rewarded. This company takes advantage of college graduates that don't know what it's like to work at a respectable organization. ConnectWise has lost its way.

Pros

The Technical Sales leadership team has been one of, if not the best, departmental leadership teams at the company for the last several years, full of people who truly care and will do anything for you, and while some of those faces have changed recently, that still holds true. Additionally, the entire department has a collaborative, team first approach to work. Even more critically, as a sales engineer or leader, you are exposed to so many varied applications that it is invaluable experience, even if you eventually go to another SaaS vendor inside or outside of the space.

Cons

There is a lot to learn and you have to truly tap into both sides of the role to be successful, i.e. both the "sales" and the "engineer" sides of the coin. In reality, that is a challenge most sales engineers if they are being honest with themselves, normally their comfort/strengths lie in one or the other. But the leadership team and the other SEs will help you get there, so you are not on an island by any means.
