The question is whether you're working for a sales company or a tech company.
Sales companies will prioritise the requirements of sales people, and tech would prefer to ignore the sales guys.
Frankly, as an engineer - I would never prefer the company where the sales people can decide how much overtime I would be doing in the end. Also - they would be getting all of the bonuses, since it's them making the decisions in the first place.
The good thing I find is that working for the engineering companies usually implies having clients with a head on their shoulders (hence them knowing what they want and what they're getting; and how much time it usually takes).
