Pros

The pay is very competitive in year 1 & 2 and targets are easier to reach than in other sales roles for other tech companies.

Cons

The promo culture has gotten increasingly worse the past years: Most people seem to be more focused on their promo than the customers. There seems to be new tools released every few weeks due to this... The company is FAR behind in terms of tooling (still using Office on-premises, creating own tools instead of buying proper tools, and limited email storage - having to do archives every few months in Outlook). AWS is too slow at taking decisions, e.g. with Generative AI - we were slow to release a competing solution and messaging; due to this competitors won loads of customers over. Too much uncertainty regarding your job, especially the past year: Tons of layoffs and also "unofficial layoffs".

Promising global company to put on your resume

Cons

Bad management in Hong Kong. Poor culture in Hong Kong to drive the real talents away. They don't value talents. In general

Pros

* Great talent, really sharp people who are intrinsically highly motivated to work hard and succeed * The culture, on paper, is great for those who want to learn and accomplish great things at scale * Opportunities to work on big problems and drive large impact

Cons

* Executive management talent has gotten much weaker over the past three years compared to the previous 20 years * Too much bloat and a loss of focus on the things that made us great in the past * Compensation structure virtually requires you to get promoted to get competitive pay after the first two years * HR and finance processes, in particular, are far too heavy-weight and bureaucratic
