Cons
Ask how many times the senior sales and marketing leadership has changed in past 10 years. Your role is new? Ask what structure existed before. And before that. Ask what average length of employment has been for past leaders ... and why. Ask about benefits ... especially 401K details (when company kicks in contribution and at what level) and if there is a long-term incentive plan that you are eligible for. What are the LTI eligibility requirements? Ask what bonus payout has been over past 5 years... and what growth was delivered each of those years. Ask how performance goals are set, and when the targets are finalized.
