Pros

Great product, should see organic growth in next two plus years for non US region.

Cons

-Boiler room sales environment - sales reps deal with an extreme amount of pressure to perform despite hitting your target being realistically unachievable. -As is common in a lot of average companies, the proposed solution to low sales performance is to add more reps and shrink territories. Unsurprisingly this didnt work and saw mass exodus of reps. -Inexperienced and robotic "yes man" management who would rather see heads roll than stand up, communicate what is right and implement meaningful change. -Average tenure of employee 1.2 years, large amount of churn -Devoid of company culture - no guiding principles or culture code -Experienced a large lack of trust from managers to direct reports which resulted in micro management style -Pretty shocking communication from sales managers which included a lot expletives and threats of dismissal to whole team around end of quarter, despite lack of support during months prior -Quite political

Nice Facade but Structurally Unsound Foundation

Pros

There were a lot of other great colleagues, some nice benefits, and a few extra perks.

Cons

A structurally unsound structure with a nice coat of paint on it. The nice perks seen to be somewhat of a cover for major underlying issues. There is an apparent leadership vacuum at top levels, especially with recent exits. A relatively recent acquisition of another company has experienced notable integration issues. Core root causes of other various issues seem to continue to go unresolved. There was a lot of growth but insufficient planning to go with it. Recent layoffs severely hurt goodwill, were made with shortsighted thinking, all of which is a result of a string of decisions not made diligently. in addition, teams often work in silos and collaboration is a major challenge.

Pros

Good brand name, but questionable with everyone leaving

Cons

Lack of internal promotions to AE jobs. Politics are more important than performance within sales org. New leadership does not support internal SDR to AE promotion process.
