Pros

Great product, nice people, good commission structure in place for achievers and over achievers. Good benefits.

Cons

Case study of a management style of a cheep call centre, dictatorship and micro management. BDR managemen is full of lies and manipulation. Unhealthy atmosphere because of the management, it’s actually so bad that HR keeps constantly receiving complaints coming from the agents. Management would interfere in your private life. I won’t be surprised if it comes to the point when the whole team won’t turn up one day. Management has a bad history with a previous employment too. If you can work like a robot in a call centre and switch yourself form a low IQ of your management, it’s the place to be. Shame, as the company in a whole is a good place to be.

Pros

- On target OTE and uncapped commissions - Great overall work culture - A lot of cool Field marketing events - Ability to expense dinners, entertainment, gifts for clients - Great company vision and a broad security fabric portfolio with several third party validations for a well-known cybersecurity brand makes it easy to sell and be successful.

Cons

- New business quotas are the same for every seller at least on my team, who all have very different territories, some with more white space heavy accounts that can be much more challenging to hit quota compared to other territories. Quotas went up by 20% from previous year. - Too many internal systems to navigate - processes and sales enablement tools could be more efficient - You can be the top performer in your US sales segment, and still not make it to President's Club because of the way it's structured - competing against different segments and only top 3-4% get to go each year. Rewarding top performers in general is an area needing improvement in my opinion.
