Pros

Fantastic learning opportunities/extensive training. You'll meet a lot of great people.

Cons

You won't make a lot of money, even when you bring in revenue. There's an arrogance from the top, that the lowly sales person doesn't make it happen that the brilliant product sells itself and you're fortunate to be there, so they judge you on petty metrics that don't translate to revenue. There's an enormous lack of trust, you're treated like a child. Big brother looms. It's reminiscent of 1984.

Pros

-Its all about looks here. Everything in the company is shiny and bright. -Perks used to be very good but most of them have been removed

Cons

-Almost no growth potential. -Impossible to get into management unless you are blessed by folks who have been there for over 20 years. -No work life balance. You will have to take support calls after midnight, about 2-3 times a week. -The skills you acquire here are of very little use outside. -Join only if you are very political and want to work there more than 2 decades.
