not a great place to be

Account director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Checks came on time. Everyone else hates their job too so you can commiserate with your coworkers. Attractive equity packages if you survive long enough for the shares to vest.

Cons

Compensation isn't great. Broadcom's ruthless approach in the chip market doesn't translate into enterprise software. You'll spend most of your time trying to spin why all of the awful things Broadcom is doing (not innovating products, rapidly increasing customer contract costs, ignoring customer support issues) are positives - customers see right though that.

Dead end "sales" job

Account director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable capped pay with very little engagement

Cons

Fake reviews make it impossible to understand how bad it is to work for this company. - Capped commission - No support from management or others. Any issues? Buy your own tissues. - As people are leaving constantly the accounts are rotating faster than the wheel of fortune. Try establishing a good relationship within 3 months of getting an account, after that someone will leave and the accounts will rotate once again. - High expectations with no reason. You will change accounts often, yet you are expected to over deliver constantly. Explaining that managing accounts take longer than 3 months is out of the question.
