Good work-life balance; Internal Politics will make your job 500% harder
Pros: Management stays engaged
Good managers will fight for you
Considerable Remote workforce gives flexibility 
Average tenure is high in certain areas because of the decent work-life balance
Cons: * Tension between Field and Inside Sales orgs
* Internal politics slows deals and momentum. ex: you offer customers will take ages to get approved
* Tribal knowledge is key; you must know the right people to get answers to questions
* Competing priorities by teams; renewals / sales are compensated to be against each other
* Internal tools often buggy
* Aging management has old school mentality, ex: still believes in hub-model with butts in seat 
* Management hounds reps to make cold-calls daily to prospects/customers in the Enterprise space (cold-calls don't work anymore)
* You will be tracked on every metric. They fire the highest earners, so beware of hitting your quota for the year or you'll be the next one on the chopping block (C suite makes financial decisions, not smart business decisions)
