Vantaggi
The Technical Sales leadership team has been one of, if not the best, departmental leadership teams at the company for the last several years, full of people who truly care and will do anything for you, and while some of those faces have changed recently, that still holds true. Additionally, the entire department has a collaborative, team first approach to work.
Even more critically, as a sales engineer or leader, you are exposed to so many varied applications that it is invaluable experience, even if you eventually go to another SaaS vendor inside or outside of the space.
Svantaggi
There is a lot to learn and you have to truly tap into both sides of the role to be successful, i.e. both the "sales" and the "engineer" sides of the coin. In reality, that is a challenge most sales engineers if they are being honest with themselves, normally their comfort/strengths lie in one or the other. But the leadership team and the other SEs will help you get there, so you are not on an island by any means.
