Pros

The support for people with disabilities.

Cons

Employees don't share in the success of the company. They use equity awards to link your compensation to the company success. But - the problem ids, those awards are given out based on subjective personal performance criteria, measured against other employees in an organization. It is particularly bad for the CSAs and GBB where the bulk of your variable comp is this thing called "CBI", which has nothing to do with the success of the company. It has everything to do with "managing your brand" and networking up. So - even if Azure is killing it - 150% of plan, if you don't "measure up" with your "Impact", you may still not even get your OTE. Some people might like this, it does have one plus, you have total control over it, or at least your own performance relative to what are subjective and unknowable criteria. If you like being a thoroughbred racehorse in the stable and running flat out races against the other horses in the stable, GBB/CSA might be for you. If you like being a contributing member of a high preforming team, probably not.
