@MP2 more security at places like that, but extremely high quotas depending on what product team you work on (i.e. selling enterprise cloud functionality is different than trying to sell Doubleclick/advertising suite products).

Yes, what OMD1 said. And I’ve heard those companies don’t pay as well as other vendors, because the “sell” is easier. You’re basically guaranteed an investment because those companies and their products pretty much sell themselves.

Money, and if you love to socialize and don’t mind kissing the asses of assistant buyers, then absolutely go for it.

Wow. Is it really just the money? Is the work better? Less hours or anything like that?

Thanks @VP2. What if you were to go to a larger company like a Facebook, Google, etc. still less job security?
