Pros

-Free Food makes it convenient to eat lunch. -Learn a lot from peers -Benefit packages -Building network of high level clients -Guest speakers -Hack Days to learn of some possible new ideas

Cons

The higher management preach leverage leadership while the lower management don't bother to leverage those who are asking for help. They will place a cold shoulder to struggling sales reps rather than help those who are asking for help. Some of the managers have their ivy league degrees yet they don't use it to leverage others. They use their degree to have others leverage them. The territory and account list is not evenly distributed and fair to meet quota standards. There will be account executives who have better list of accounts and territory which will go in their favor on meeting their numbers. If you are given a territory with companies that will make a difference with meeting your numbers and how managers treat you.

Pros

Open environment, still has a 'start-up' feel (at least in Europe), company is in hyper-growth which creates a wealth of opportunities for employees. Pay and benefits are very competitive in the market. Casual, fun feel - though people work hard. Great collaboration compared to other companies I have worked in.

Cons

It's pressurised, and expectations are high. So you need to be good at what you do to shine.

Pros

-From the outside looking in, one of the most innovative, forward thinking companies in the valley. -Tech darling of wall street -Solid, visionary exec leadership who seem genuine, believable & competant -Transparency at the top -Free food and good perks

Cons

-Mid/lower management, (especially int he sales org) can be a BIG miss. -There are a few good sales managers but by and large, incompetency reigns supreme at this level. They have a sales manager with literally 2 years of sales experience, "trying" to lead tenured reps who've carried a bag for a decade. The result? Downfall of many reps due to "cultural clashes" -Post first week training, on boarding is nearly non-existent. Very cliquish and overall sense of negativity on the floor. -Little to no career development unless you're in the 23 year old crowd. -One of the most political environments I've encountered in my career
