Pros

Fantastic technology for Service Providers. Great benefits and huge flexibility (some take advantage of this too much). Regional leadership (VP level) is very supportive, but not backed up from greater SLT. So much cash in the bank they can afford to throw it around on acquisitions that make no sense at all.

Cons

No innovation for Enterprise customers. Leadership needs to change, especially at a Product Management level. Financial goals/targets are out of reach and out of line to market growth. Very difficult to earn commission. Both Treq and PT acquisitions have/will fail due to not understanding what they are buying, and not understanding the real opportunity globally - outside of the USA. Too much focus on SFDC, rather than telling stories to customers. Reporting daily at the EoQ is just too much.

Pros

No pros left. When started it was an amazing place to work... then tanked real fast. The culture went from enthusiastic and fun to hate life and no direction whatsoever.

Cons

Downsides: Everything. The money is okay, but the quota the leadership team gave was ridiculously unattainable so commissions were poor. Do not waste your time here because you will soon be very disappointed. HR does a good job with benefits and outlining what they have in order, but once you get to work, you will have no clue what you're supposed to do. No matter how many times you ask leadership, they don't know. Or they'll explain it in a passive way that makes no sense. I think the leadership team is unhappy themselves but they won't quit because who would when they make as much as they do? They do not communicate with the employees well or at all. If you make the mistake in joining this company, advice is to ride the wave until you get let go. But if you want to be happy somewhere for the long haul, go somewhere else. Trust me.
