Lack of Communication/Direction

Pros

Individual contributors. The 1-star is just for them.

Cons

There is absolutely no communication at all between executives and senior managers. For 3 weeks prior to my last day, I could not get my manager to even respond to my emails. There were a lot of internal issues that needed his attention and he completely either ignored it or did not have the guts to face it. Throwing people under the bus to save their own a** is very common part of the culture. There is no accountability. Don't even start with the acquisitions. There is absolutely no clear path to who sells what since every acquired company has their own VP of sales.

Pros

Company is like a battleship. Hard to move but once is starts sinking jump off . Company founded on solid vision that grew from zero to an industry stalwart.

Cons

New leadership comes from healthcare industry and cupcake industry - this is the truth. The CRO owned a cupcake shop. Friend of CEO so got a shot at running a serious software company. CRO will be run out soon by chairman and PE firm. Does not understand the industry and when people try to explain the nuances of working with government he insults you and says you are being negative. Also, he brought in all his cronies, gave them huge bonuses, and assigned them to premium territories. It's fact. Just look at the linkedin profiles of new sales hires. Further, all he does is trashes people before him who set the cornerstone for the company for 15+ years. He's been at the company for less than one year. CEO is a total buffoon. Complete. Watch his video announcing the Accela user conference. That will tell you all you need to know. This is not a tech company. HQ is a total joke. CRO and CEO don't even live in Bay Area and are rarely in the office. Government has a long sales cycle. Just wait for another year. This won't get better.
