Developers and Techs Stay Away!

Pros

The company moved to Salesforce. You'll learn a ton because of the disorganization which forces you to pick up things you don't know but are valuable as a developer.

Cons

I had 4 managers in my 3-year tenure, so, let that sink in. There is no structure at all in the tech department. It's a free for all. One manager tried to get the team to move from Jira to spreadsheets... The move to Salesforce was the best thing they could do for themselves but the extremely poor planning, execution, and horrible decision making has caused absolute chaos. There's no PM's, BA's, IT Directors, Architects, nothing! The team is now managed by an overseas team who leaves for the day at 11 am US time so it's difficult to work efficiently as a team. I watched a lot of great talent leave which ultimately led to my departure. It's a real shame.

Pros

Interesting product and service offerings

Cons

Uber Micro-Management, Metrics driven by a management team that hasn't a clue as to what effectively works in the field! Territory Managers expected to cover an unmanageable geography and measured against unrealistic metrics. This new setup makes it extremely difficult to maintain YTD performance #'s to qualify for commissions!! Not the same company (because of the new management team) that built a history and reputation of having a culture that was collaborative, impassioned, highly motivating and balanced when it came to work/life balance. Very sad.

Pros

I love some of my co-workers. I've made friends for life working here.

Cons

Inept leadership who expect things to be done one way and then tell you to do it another way. They set you up for failure with unobtainable goals that affect bonuses and your ability to transfer to another department or get promoted. Internal hiring process is a joke. I had one of my friends leave because it took 3 months for HR to get an interview scheduled for a job in another department. Another friend of mine in customer service was asked by the management team to apply for the sales job opening because of her product knowledge and 20 years of experience with this company. After having a great interview, she was told she didn't get the job because she barely missed her goals (see above) and they would revisit with her in 2 months. 2 months passed and after being nearly perfect in her goals, she was told she would have to re-apply and re-interview with no guarantee she would get the job.... Communication is piss-poor between departments. You are treated more like a machine and are nothing more than a name on a piece of paper. Talented individuals are leaving because there is no future for them.
