Pros

The pay is very competitive in year 1 & 2 and targets are easier to reach than in other sales roles for other tech companies.

Cons

The promo culture has gotten increasingly worse the past years: Most people seem to be more focused on their promo than the customers. There seems to be new tools released every few weeks due to this... The company is FAR behind in terms of tooling (still using Office on-premises, creating own tools instead of buying proper tools, and limited email storage - having to do archives every few months in Outlook). AWS is too slow at taking decisions, e.g. with Generative AI - we were slow to release a competing solution and messaging; due to this competitors won loads of customers over. Too much uncertainty regarding your job, especially the past year: Tons of layoffs and also "unofficial layoffs".

Pros

Promising global company to put on your resume

Cons

Bad management in Hong Kong. Poor culture in Hong Kong to drive the real talents away. They don't value talents. In general
