Pros

Great visibility, great service to customer take good care of customer. Challenging opportunity. Great culture. Great teamwork. Many opportunities to move up

Cons

Many reorganization, rule changes that employee get confuse and hard to follow procedures. Management change every quarter. Treat AE like hourly labor. Pay stuff has hourly rate. All AE has to fill out time card and exact activities which bonus pay count toward customer's time spent. Any internal activity is discourage including provide training and getting training. This result overwork long hours to meet demand on all that ask employee to do

Pros

The people are very talented, especially the individual contributors. A lot of the infrastructure is very cutting edge due to the previous IT leadership.

Cons

Lots and lots of re-organizations. In 13+ years, there was an annual "RIF" in 10 of them every October/November. Leadership at the top changed over 5 times. A significant amount of in-fighting between various business groups. Additionally, there were integrity issues.
