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

Advice to Management

We need to clean up sales management not to ask for FAE to provide internal COS error messages every quarter, and eliminate time-consuming tedious internal tasks such as filling out time cards and then not paying bonuses for the hours spent helping other team members.
