Avantages
In my organization (specialized sales), there is a lot of opportunity to interact with high-level management and provide input. This makes me feel engaged, valued, and able to help. The product line is fantastic and the majority of the employees I've worked with so far are extremely knowledgeable. The sales teams are very technically competent. The customer needs really feel like they're put first. The overall company culture is very concerned with doing your best, being accountable, and having a lot of integrity. These are qualities I value very much. The office culture is very casual (no dress code!) with lots of flexibility. I can work at home when I need/want to. I can attend appointments without being very concerned about sticky business hours. Respectful of work/life balance. Not high stress, but busy enough to feel really engaged and wanted. If there are meetings over lunch, lunch is brought in. The office has lots of freebies: snacks, soda, fancy coffee, fridge to put your lunch in. Not a lot of red tape to get through to justify purchases (technology or travel, for example). Management trusts that you're doing what you say you're doing. Very fair expense reimbursement. EXCELLENT benefits--competitive compensation and commission, 401k matching and managed by Fidelity, affordable insurance with pretty good coverage (even with a CA-based headquarters and insurance company when I'm on the east coast). Competitive flexible time off (FTO) that improves with longer retention. Most powerful work laptop I've ever had access to! The hardware specs are to die for. CEO is very approachable, interesting, and well spoken. He seems well connected to what's going on in different parts of the company. He's very knowledgeable about the various product lines.
Inconvénients
I haven't had to renegotiate salary, OTE, commission yet. I haven't tried to be promoted. I have no idea how that process is--I'm too new :-). Those are usually the cons I experience in an organization, and I don't know what to expect here yet. No BYOD except for phones and limited support for Mac products.
