Here comes the truth: DataV is not the type of product they sell it to be. Of course the product works but they sell it as a "SaaS" product with "Apps" that claim to be out of the box; but in reality, the product has to be customized to each customer making the sales cycle enormously long. This means that bonuses are far and few between - so reaching the claimed OTE is an outrageously ridiculous notion. Other cons include:
- No career growth. Employees are eager to grow but the roles are stagnant and management won't promote.
- Management runs things quietly behind people's back so you really don't know what's going on.
- Work life balance. Get all your work done and some extra work or you'll be fired.
- Taking over a week PTO is unheard of.
- PTO plan itself is low.
- Number of customers. They claim to have hundreds of customers but a few customers have bought DataV software. The other customers are from a different department that resells Microsoft licenses (nothing to do with DataV).
- Required office time. No work from home option. This is a direct requirement from the CEO, Jerry Chase, who likes to have bodies in the office. Good luck with the Seattle and Bellevue traffic!
- Low walled cubicles. Everybody sees everything.
- Favoritism. If your manager likes you, great! You can get away with pretty much anything! If they don't, good luck keeping your job for another quarter...
