Pros

You'll have the chance to do things that simply aren't possible at a smaller scale: namely change the habits of millions of consumers on a daily basis, work with the brightest people in the industry, and learn about the latest technology deployed at a mass scale.

Cons

Be prepared to work 60-70 hour weeks on functionality that is only used to fill out company press releases for earnings calls. Senior management creates a toxic work environment where the loudest and meanest person generally wins the argument.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
