      Pros

      Exposure to complex client environments, Opportunity to develop strong customer communication skills

      Cons

      - Base salaries are below market for comparable sales roles - Commission/bonus structure is tied to engineering delivery rather than revenue generated - The Built Environment group has significant project delays and turnaround issues - Sales executives spend a disproportionate amount of time managing customer complaints instead of selling - The role operates more as reactive account management than proactive sales - Frequent rollout of new processes that do not address root operational bottlenecks - High stress environment with elevated burnout risk

      Pros

      - Mission - Work life balance - Pay - Modernization of the workplace

      Cons

      - Every year benefits are reduced with terrible and tone deaf justifications. - Added benefits tend only to benefit new employees. - Perception that the company does not value long term employees (suspension of defined benefit program) - Poor ESPP discount - Lack of transparency on how AEIP bonus is calculated - Workflow tools are still extremely cumbersome after years of promises to fix them - Lack of enforcement of hybrid work policy. Many people never come in and are never spoken to about it.
