Pros
Having only worked at huge companies in the past, I was surprised how many brilliant people from around the world I could talk to from day one at Specops. And whether working in sales, support, development or management, they all wanted to teach me whatever they could to help me succeed. I know that where I end up in terms of sales, growth and compensation is entirely a product of the effort I put in and how much I leverage the resources available to me. The products are easy to talk about and often far ahead of the competition, but what I like most is how fun it is to install and muck around with them myself. It gives you a lot of confidence in sales to be able to pop open an online meeting and show prospects exactly how the products work.
Cons
Having an award-winning, trusted name in the IT community doesn't always translate to becoming a household name overnight. It's usually straightforward proving to IT admins that Specops' has the best product, but translating that to a signature from decision makers, rather than some "household name" competitor, can put sales skills to the test.
