Pros

Salary is considered competitive in Taiwan

Cons

The code quality is extremely poor, manager can't take any advice at all, the only thing manager care about is speed of development, causing lots of anti pattern design. Often get called by manager in off work time. AVOID THIS COMPANY IF YOU CARE ABOUT GROWING SKILLS AS A SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Pros

- On target OTE and uncapped commissions - Great overall work culture - A lot of cool Field marketing events - Ability to expense dinners, entertainment, gifts for clients - Great company vision and a broad security fabric portfolio with several third party validations for a well-known cybersecurity brand makes it easy to sell and be successful.

Cons

- New business quotas are the same for every seller at least on my team, who all have very different territories, some with more white space heavy accounts that can be much more challenging to hit quota compared to other territories. Quotas went up by 20% from previous year. - Too many internal systems to navigate - processes and sales enablement tools could be more efficient - You can be the top performer in your US sales segment, and still not make it to President's Club because of the way it's structured - competing against different segments and only top 3-4% get to go each year. Rewarding top performers in general is an area needing improvement in my opinion.
