Pros

If you're lucky, you will be paid well, but that entirely depends on the team and the manager. Some very smart people to work with.

Cons

It's a huge corporate behemoth at this point. Management is mostly clueless and is heavily based on brownnosing. Most of the developers hired in last 2 years don't care about writing good code. The process is getting more and more constricting. People are leaving and leaving.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
