I came back. I must like it
Pros: Great people throughout the organization. 
Competitive environment. 
Lots of (self service) resources available. 
Flexibility, autonomy, and self- determination. 
Traction in many markets.
Cons: Poor investment in traditional training. If you don't learn via web training you will struggle to pick up new concepts and technology 

Focus on financial engineering throughout the business. For example, the mandatory vacation from Xmas to New Years is indicative of the steps taken to prop up the bottom line. Some of the approaches to cloud sales try to do the same to the top line. 

No travel on Sunday and other approaches to minimize OT. Presales folks are paid below market rate salary but the spin is that you are paid for OT so your salary plus OT is in line with market rates. The rub is that lower mgt pushes to keep OT low, which limits your individual earning potential.
