Pros
Strong core product International trip
Cons
Very weak US commercial leadership. Huge middle management layer, many of whom were recently hired, completely clueless about the industry and also bad culture carrier. What makes it worse? Review is 100% based on your manager's rating. If an IC is too strong, an insecure team lead could make up random negative comments with no accountability. No check and balance to review the difference between what the manager's review and actual feedback received from an IC's stakeholders. Comp, like many already mentioned, are way below market. Unsurprising to see some ICs are trying hide commercial meetings from their direct managers, because some have tendencies to insert themselves in meeting, only to inadvertently derail the conversations given their lack of knowledge and their transactional way of approaching relationships.
