Pros

A really wonderful place to work in general with lots of development opportunities and great colleagues. Truly exciting day to day work.

Cons

Mental health does not seem to be as important as made out to be; taking time off for stress was completely ignored and not addressed in any way. At this rate the issues will simply continue until I am forced out which is not the company culture I was fortunate to work with in other teams. The psychological safety aspect is preached but not upheld by managers: I’ve also had some truly ridiculous, spiteful and downright bullying things said to me so far and there seems little resource to get this sorted internally

Thank you for this balanced and thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that our benefits and investment in people are making a positive impact, those are commitments we take seriously. On the process feedback: Leadership is actively reviewing operational workflows, and the advice to listen more closely to employee feedback is something we're holding ourselves accountable to. If you're open to it, we'd encourage you to bring specific examples forward through your team or people and culture contacts. Change is most effective when it's grounded in the real experiences of the people doing the work, and that means you.

Pros

-Great company -Team has talented, experienced account managers and product experts who know the territory well

Cons

West team management is heavy on micromanagement and sets unrealistic territory targets without rep input — high turnover, and long tenure in company seems to shield this manager from accountability and growth
