High staff turnover, bad work life balance, micromanaging

Field sales representative

Business Outlook

Pros

International colleagues, nice offices, though many of the benefits are now being offered at other tech companies too

Cons

Long hours, late work, high expectation. Once you get behind the curtain it’s toxic and there have been many resignations despite all the layoffs. Cloud GTM managers are brutal. High turnover. Bad WLB. Very controlling / micromanaging.
