Pros

Great company 3 years ago. Then it tripled and went to the wolves. Work life balance is good. If you wanna sit and grow at a steady pace then it's great. Don't expect too many merit based incentives. Some free lunches. Easy to switch teams parallely. Vertical movement is easier for management. Horizontal movement is extremely scrutinized (they would rather hire inexperienced interns than in-house and train someone for a position) Company stocks are great. Bonuses are ok. Company has still a lot of room to grow which is great for its workers.

Cons

If you are the kind of person who thrives on appearance and taking credit for others work OR if you're a manager. Then this is the place for you. Work is not connected to pay. The impression of work is. Manager are pretty much guaranteed promotions every year if they don't distribute their budget on promoting their hires. I've known developer who've left because of this and also conscientious managers who were tired of playing the devil. Tripled in size in 3 years and the culture is no more. Now it's a hodgepodge of Microsoft and oracle.

Pros

great technology, enthusiastic and loyal customers.

Cons

Only a fraction of enterprise reps make their number..if you're a great rep and you work hard you still only have a one in six chance of making your number. Accounts are dolled out like it's the Wild West. Managers pick their favorite rep and assign the best accounts.. Even if your lucky enough to get good accounts (which I was)there are so many reps you will only get 2-3 active accounts. It's also a micro management, Oracle environment... The beatings will continue until morale improves.. Attrition is really, really high. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Pros

Great technology, industry leader, dominates the market space.

Cons

Office driven culture, very transactional, you will not make money if you are put in a bad territory. Office politics are some of the worst I have ever experienced. Zero diversity, no women managers.
