Pros

Good salaries as compared to competitors.

Cons

Too much focus on sales lets people choose quantity over quality. Not a good engineering atmosphere. If you are technical and looking to learn, the only thing you will learn is how to play politics and why sales is so important; nothing else.

Advice to Management

Better technical leadership is needed, with more focus on engineering and customer success compared to just sales.
