Pros

Great work life balance. Great team and leadership. Feels like a startup with the support of a successful company. The product is in high demand. So many great benefits especially when it comes to time off. Not only do you get PTO, but you get 2 weeks vacation when the company shuts down for "summer vacation" and "winter vacation."

Cons

Base salaries are a bit lower than most mid-market positions, but the potential to overachieve quote is very attainable. There are also spiff's every quarter allowing you to make a lot of extra money.
