Pluspunten

The pay can be great and the health benefits are very good. There are free soft drinks which is nice.

Minpunten

There is a "self service" model set up for finding everything. This makes it difficult to figure out how to do some of the most basic tasks. The sales cycle is extremely slow and deals can take a very long time to close. I won't see my first commission check till Sept/Oct and I started in May. Management expects pipeline management and account updates despite the reps having little to no knowledge about the account. Customers aren't our biggest fans because the pricing is crazy high and the licensing agreements are extremely confusing. Compensation is cut throat and there is an adversarial relationship between the inside and outside team. If deal sizes are over a certain amount (this is the swim lane where it could go one way or the other) then inside sales may lose the deal and get paid out a much smaller portion than the AE. This competitive structure is counterproductive because it makes the inside rep want to keep deals from getting too large.

Pluspunten

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Minpunten

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
