Sales Enablement at Google Cloud?

Hello folks, Wife is Googler and keeps suggesting I'm a great fit for GCP. (Technical background, 10 years Enterprise sales experience). I've worked in marketing and sales Enablement for Enterprise tech startups in Bay Area for the last 3 years. I'm seeing tons of openings for GCP roles, both in sales management as well as Enablement. What's your take? On one hand, it's Google. On the other, Google Cloud is not doing as well as AWS or Azure, plus recent CEO might make culture go sideways... Thoughts??

GCP org is just 2-3 years old, a lot opportunities to lead the way, mord than at AWS or Azure. I like GCP better, it is leaner

I wasn't referring to that with the question. I know the perks pretty well and I think they are great. But what I'm really asking is: - As a sales rep - what's the expected performance? If you don't hit your number are you out in 3 months, how many reps hit their Target or get their accelerators? (To get a feeling of how well the organization is doing) - As a manager: do you have autonomy to help your team or are you mostly dealing with internal polítics and bureaucracy? Like I said, free stuff is great, but I can get that in any VC-backed startup that wants to burn cash...
