Great place to work, excellent Sales Leadership, slow product development

Account executive

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Disruptive, sticky, foundational technology. Co-founders are passionate about making an impact in this space. Sales Leadership is top-notch from CRO down to 1st line management. The product works - customers seem very happy with high retention rates.

Cons

Newer upper management overpaid and use too many buzzwords - no real execution. Product development has screeched to a grinding halt. Customer success organization ill-equipped to handle technical use cases. Sales comp continues to decline. Inbound leads continue to decline.

The CEO is hurting the company

Customer success manager

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Great technology and excellent customer success organization

Cons

The CEO is a fine engineer but a lousy public CEO. His constant negative and inaccurate forecasts on earning calls are killing the company stock price. He should step down and let a competent CEO be hired.

5 stars if you enjoy working for bureaucratic tech giant

Sr. csm

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is seemingly unmatched.

Cons

Working at this bureaucratic tech giant is frustrating. Bureaucracy creates unnecessary hurdles, and constant evaluations/tests (like so many... why so many... VMT, OAR, surveys, 360 reviews, certifications that need to be renewed every couple of years... let's focus on the customer more and less on employee busy work) add to the pressure. Sales reps treat their internal counterparts like trash, making things even worse.
