Pros

Best product in the industry, awesome team to work with, great benefits especially if you're in a city with an office. Everyone is motivated and eager to perform at their highest ability.

Cons

Weak matching 401K, if promoted from within you're not rewarded/paid same as if you were hired from outside the company, so you're better off to quit, then rehire months later to get the salary/compensation you deserve/that's competitive.

Great company - with a suffering sales team

Pros

Great benefits, fantastic culture, great product. Been in the sales business for nearly 10 years and this has been one of the most fun environments to work in.

Cons

Averaged 17% of reps to quota in the past 5 quarters. This combined with a low base salary makes it tough to feel appreciated. The upper management team (not direct managers) has very very unrealistic goals. If you're used to hitting quota, you're in for a rough wake up call.

Great company, Terrible Management in some departments

Pros

\The offices were beautiful. Most of the people were really friendly. Getting a t-shirt for each release was fun and brought the company together.

Cons

I loved the people in my office, but some of the management styles exhibited by my manager and other managers was unacceptable. No forewarning of expectations, only to be dinged on performance reviews. We definitely needed some T&D for managers as well as employees how to behave in the workplace.
