Pros
In the Sales Engineering group, the organization is top notch. Management top to bottom is fantastic, and the culture is amazing. We have proper separation from the sales org, and have incredible access to lab resources, training, etc. Because Veeam touches so many different technologies, we have unprecedented access to a wide variety of tech from on-prem resources, cloud, and SaaS platforms. The SE's are highly regarded and respected by the sales team, and the expectations of the SE's are reasonable for a seasoned professional with commercial and enterprise selling experience. For someone is in a sales-based function, I feel I have wonderful work-life balance.
Cons
A lot of sales territories are aligned 1-to-1 SE, to AE. So if you have a mediocre, underperforming sales rep, your variable compensation will suffer.
