Vantaggi

If you are really good and committed then you get nice bonuses, RSU. If you are good, got managerial skills and you stay there long enough (4 years in average) - you will get promoted. (the company is always growing) ESPP. You won't get fired when the entire industry is cutting jobs. Nice company events (team/group/area/company events) For every additional $1 billion in sales, the entire company is sent to a 1 week vacation in Cancun. A good health insurance plan. A better than average pension plan. 3 weeks summer-camp for kids during August.

Svantaggi

Big company - you are a very small gear wheel in the entire company. Unless you are a tech-lead or an architect (or a junior engineer), you won't find too many interesting software development tasks or challenges, nor will you be able to do interesting software designs. Some managers are quite tough and see you as just another set of working hands. Project timeframes are rarely estimated correctly - when deadline is near everyone is working into late night to meet deadlines. If you do not live in Tel-aviv or near a train station, getting to work can be a pain in the buttocks.

Vantaggi

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Svantaggi

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
