Pros

If you hate working, you can do nothing for years and get paid for doing the bare minimum. Sometimes, when you quit they’ll give you a raise to continue to do nothing.

Cons

Roughly 80% of engineers there who have been there for over 10 years seemed to all have forgotten how to code. Nonetheless, will still be angry at you when you try to explain simple things like version control to them and they don’t understand. When you give them the solution, they will purposefully leave an “underperforming” review because they feel threatened by your competence. They will then ignore you for promotion for the next 8 years. Then, when they lose their tempers because they have the emotional intelligence of a 5 year old baby, they will blame you for not being “tolerant” enough of their temper tantrums.

Pros

- On target OTE and uncapped commissions - Great overall work culture - A lot of cool Field marketing events - Ability to expense dinners, entertainment, gifts for clients - Great company vision and a broad security fabric portfolio with several third party validations for a well-known cybersecurity brand makes it easy to sell and be successful.

Cons

- New business quotas are the same for every seller at least on my team, who all have very different territories, some with more white space heavy accounts that can be much more challenging to hit quota compared to other territories. Quotas went up by 20% from previous year. - Too many internal systems to navigate - processes and sales enablement tools could be more efficient - You can be the top performer in your US sales segment, and still not make it to President's Club because of the way it's structured - competing against different segments and only top 3-4% get to go each year. Rewarding top performers in general is an area needing improvement in my opinion.
