What a mess (can only speak to public sector office in Reston)
Pros: Not stressful, casual dress, decent pay for the amount of work, really nice people who work in customer-facing sales
Cons: 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.
