Pros

Very commercial, one of the best marketing machines on this planet with an excellent product.

Focus on being the company helping other companies become a customer company using cloud technology, with no deviations to other markets.

The best salary, conditions, etc., I have ever seen at the level I am working at.

Cons

The organization was split into silos, prohibiting all divisions from collaborating around a client throughout its lifecycle.

Some colleagues focused on 'plucking the low-hanging fruit' rather than getting a share of wallet within one enterprise customer.

Although my application went very well, I observed that many candidates waited too long for feedback.

Advice to Management

Remove the barriers between sales, CFL, and services.

Sell at the enterprise level through solution selling and keep doing that during the whole life cycle.
