Pros

Reasonable salary Flexible working at the time, although used as leverage Excellent colleagues/team

Cons

1. Diabolical management structure; an inexperienced and arrogant leader given no training on how to lead but desperate for senior leadership approval so worked the team and their self to the bone. Only ever heard from senior leadership to complain/critique or super occasionally after a very busy period by email chain. 2. Zero transparency of implementation of operational changes which caused utterly avoidable failures in daily processes. 3. Zero work life balance; regular demands to work extreme overtime and/or on public holidays. These demands were often made with little to no notice. 4. When overtime was undertaken there was rarely any offer for recompense, and requests to "take back hours" were met with attitude as if the employee were cheating the company. 5. If you died in the office HR would make it your fault. The most calculated and cruel behaviour by a so called professional I've ever had the displeasure to witness. When pushed for outside support it was evetually and begrudgingly provided, and fully vindicated the concerns raised. 6. Excessive workload, beyond reasonable expectations. 7. Utter refusal by management to change processes as suggested by the staff who did the jobs, leading to frustration and overloading. 8. Complete lack of team/company ethos, every team works in a silo to protect their little realm of power.

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.
