Pros

Great solutions, great training. If you work for the right leadership and have the right accounts, you can be successful and make a lot of money. A true enterprise selling role, that I gained immense learning from in my time here.

Cons

High turnover - most don't last 2 years. 20-30% of individuals hit quota. Salesforce data is manually entered by other AE's, so territories are built blindly. The comp plan is extremely complicated, it takes a 20 slide PowerPoint for leadership to explain how on 1 slide they will comp you on a deal, and 19 slides of ways you won't get comp'd on a deal. You won't find out until weeks after closing a deal if you get full credit for a deal, which is stressful if you're close to end of year. Don't bother working existing accounts, you want only net new logos to have a chance at hitting the incentives that will get you to your quota. Dig deeper into customer references for AI products; there will be plenty of references for CCaaS but there are many clients who have recently agreed to publish a win story but are having difficulties deploying today.

Pros

Position in the market forces the company to evaluate emerging technologies early and often. This creates a great opportunity to build expertise in revolutionary technologies. Unlike many large corporations, NiCE offers an opportunity to learn and participate in areas outside of your immediate job description.

Cons

Diversity of long tenured employees dating back to time as startup and recent employees joining from large enterprises can lead to differences in opinion on internal process transformation. This is manageable, but requires internal selling.
