Management has an identity crisis. The men that started the company are smart. This says nothing for their ethics. The company is always in transition, management spends more time and effort protecting their jobs than doing their jobs. Bringing Google on board was a feather in their caps. Unfortunately many of the management team have no management training. This leads to a company attempting to emulate a successful partner and missing the mark by a mile. Promoting or hiring a person into a position and not ensuring they are trained and have the necessary tools will never work.

The uniqueness of start up technology company is starting to fade away with more and more Senior management being put into place thus we are slowly turning into more of a true corporate structure. New management bring new ideas but also new egos along with it. The new Business Development compensation has gone from one of 50% base and 50% commission to a 20% base and 80% commission and has the feeling a bait and switch mentality. Now that ADC has your former clients, contacts, databases and most importantly your experience you brought to the table but now we are cutting your base by 70% but we will let you make more but we are investing in you and taking the risk of your earnings now... Needles to say if your a top performer you have realized that with the base being so low you might as well go back or to true commercial brokerage and make real serious money. The mentality is already switching away from a " I am part of a sales team and that is part of why I get a good livable base" to my base is a joke compared to other seasoned sales professionals and I need to make it up in commission so it is all about me." Who loses in the end? The company and the customer. 4 years to be fully vested for 401k? Grant options are WAY behind the rest of the industry if your trying to attract top tier sales professionals and technology leaders.
