Pluspunten

Not stressful, casual dress, decent pay for the amount of work, really nice people who work in customer-facing sales

Minpunten

public sector sales leadership management strategy seems to be "spray and pray" (not unlike much email client outreach), they have no idea what they're doing and are hiring directors who are even more clueless, training is terrible and disjointed, deals move extremely slow because of working w/ gov't, unambitious working culture, bad compensation compared to competitors (Amazon, salesforce, etc.) and high attrition, company seems to be falling apart beneath itself. Our CEO (PE background) is ruthlessly trimming the fat and selling her stock as soon as it vests—very obvious they're getting the company small and lean enough to sell off in the next few years, as it is way behind competitors when it comes to market share and quality of product in the cloud. The only people who stay are the ones who are too complacent to get out—makes for a very unenthusiastic workplace.

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.
