Pros

-Great Product that truly sells itself (partners also do a lot of selling on your behalf). -pay is reasonable (note that I was an external hire) -A lot of nice teammates willing to help, especially when you're new -Remote work is flexible

Cons

- A lot of managers don't seem to even care about their team members. They rarely reach out proactively, to even check up on them members. They really only care about the number at the end of the day. -Super impersonal culture. To provide an example, Teams Meetings are for the most part always camera off. There isn't opportunity to collaborate with other members of different teams. There aren't any departmental group sales training sessions which are normally incredibly valuable for learning the product -Onboarding is horrendous. You watch a week of videos and then you are thrown into the fire. Did not receive any support from my manager in training at all. -Remote work can lead to lack of motivation at times.

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.
