Pros

- A true professional test of who you are and what you are capable of. If you want to work in a culture of excellence, then this is the place for you. - Leading big, complex challenging deals that are strategically aligned to pressing and relevant IT/Business initiatives - Working for the Top 1% of Sales Leaders Globally (data point) - Data driven culture - Top class CEO - Clear vision for growth and product roadmap - AppD is known throughout the industry for producing the best sales talent - so this looks brilliant on your CV - There will always be one leader that will truly invest in making you brilliant and will truly care about you and making you achieve everything you wanted from your career. - Earning potential is there - Exciting life where you feel the adrenaline of achieving big things - Incredible perks and travel and President's Clubs - Fairly flat structure where you have lots of senior people at your disposal to help you and progress your deals

Cons

The below points aren't necessarily cons, but they are things to be aware of - Work / life balance can be a challenge due to the culture of excellence. But this is to be expected. Nothing great comes without sacrifice. - Leadership can be challenging to work for when you are not aligned with their views. Listen and learn and one day you will get the chance to comment when you are in their shoes. - It's a politically charged atmosphere and you have to be conscience of this (just like in life) - This isn't the place for you to challenge the data that made the company great. Follow the leading indicators and the methodology and success will come and you will enjoy working there. Don't and and you wont.
