Pros

Best-in-class software to work on, down-to-Earth collaboration, smart people, good diversity.

Cons

Speed has been cranked up at the cost of quality lately. Timelines are regularly changed, it's kind of a go-with-the-flow environment, can mean more work.

Pros

Good benefits Good employee purchase stock program through salesforce

Cons

- you are just a number - management doesn't care about you - onboarding was a joke - you are at the mercy of what team you are placed on. People at my same level were closing 100k deals making a ton of commission, but our team was scratching and clawing for 20k deals. - you talk IT security all day. its not a fun sale. it's painfully boring.
