Great company to work for, but...

Pros

Great company with a great product and very talented young professionals in all levels of the company. Very much sales driven, which puts a lot of pressure on the people that need to get the sales admin done. Situated in cool locations / offices throughout the world.

Cons

Sales targets change: One day we're lookig at number of customers 'closed', next day focus must be on 'quality' customers (but still, sales is measured on number of customers closed). Selling to non-paying customers puts high pressure on finance, collections and reporting. Work/life balance is tough. Normal working weeks of 45+ hours, but often more.
