Thank you for the review. We hear you (and many others) on the request for 401k matching. That's probably the most-requested compensation feature.

Pros

#1 Company in the RPA space with cutting edge technology. Nobody wants to be the B or C player in the market. Customers are knocking down our doors to purchase RPA right now. This industry is on fire, and this company is doing all the right things to capitalize on it and ride the wave to the top. Good people and everybody is ready to jump in the deep end with you on a deal to do whatever it take to make sure we win. Lots of face time with clients, this is a true solution sale, and customers welcome the collaberation.

Cons

Hyper-growth company, so change is constant, but that is to be expected. Base pay is very competitive, but the commission structure needs some changes like pay on multi-year deals instead of just the first-year contract value. Did not get a ramp period and had a quota month 1 even though it is a 6-month sales cycle for new business... So, negotiate a draw, and be ready to put some work in to play catch up the second half of the first year.

Thank you for your review. Some really solid insight there regarding sales compensation issues that haven't been shared in any other review to date, so thank you for highlighting it with such actionable and easy-to-understand language. Will take this to a conversation with our sales-ops team.

Pros

.Well funded. If you get a peripheral role in the org, you could ride it out as the chaos is so bad you'll get very little done.

Cons

Sweat shop.. chaotic place with clueless layers of management. Lots of managers, no workers. Engineering is so badly run, with no process or collaboration and unreasonable timelines. The team in India is impossible to work with. Overcrowded offices - place is pig sty in Summer with the interns. Very poor pay - the promise lies in the stock going somewhere. Without the necessary execution, likely an acquisition target.

Hello -- Thank you for your candid review. We're sorry that you had a bad experience. To respond quickly to the items you mention: * Chaos: blitz-scaling is tough, and certainly feels chaotic at times. We feel that "no process or collaboration" is probably hyperbole, as the facts are that we're shipping complex software regularly, and we've got loyal customers that highly value our software and services. We certainly aspire to ever-better process and collaboration -- especially since what worked yesterday typically won't work tomorrow, given the rapidity of our change and evolution. * Cross-regional collaboration difficulties: it's unclear what your difficulties were specifically, but we've done some management and leadership development workshops with teams that collaborate between the US and India, and identified that there are some effective practices, as well as some challenges to overcome, and we have a team of engineering leaders who are aware of and who are working to address the issues. * Overcrowding: True. We're once again bursting at the seams thanks to growth that seems to continually outpace our ability to lease and configure new office spaces. Even with the opening just over a month ago of our third building in San Jose, we're again nearing full capacity. * Pay: we continuously benchmark our pay to ensure it's competitive and that we're able to woo excellent and talented people. We've also hired a new global leader for compensation to ensure that our strategy is sound and well-executed. It's true that equity compensation is a major component of the total compensation package, as is the case at most technology startups, and that's why we're all working hard to ensure that the "somewhere" it goes is up and to the right of where it is today. Thank you again for raising these issues and providing the talent community with your insights into our challenges and opportunities.
