Pros

Some of the people are great, free lunch, but it's low quality, opportunities to do a ton of work and build a portfolio.

Cons

1. Micro management from Israel. 2. They expect a lot from marketing, yet never approve anything we want to do, therefore handcuffing us (understatement) 3. Incompetent and inexperienced people are hired and kept in the organization, even when there are obvious problems with them (includes management). 4. Very high turnover, due to people becoming so frustrated with horrible processes. 5. High stress levels, toxic work environment.

Don’t even bother

Pros

- Good products but that’s about it - Great stepping stone - Great place to coast if you want to just rest and vest

Cons

- Everything has to be approved by Israel - CEO will blame US sales for lackluster talent without taking ownership on lackluster internal training and development needed to help them become high-performing sales reps (HR won’t help either) - Get ready not to be paid a penny on commission and then expect a statement at the end of they year stating that you owe them money for “overpayment” on commission - Also expect not to make any sense of the commission statements you get - You’d be lucky to even get a comp plan before H2 - By the time you get your bonus, it’s been withheld because of the money you owe for “overpayment” - Just don’t even bother

Pros

They offer free lunch to everyone. Good place for the following 1) young people getting started 2) People who live in San Carlos 3) people who are unemployed or in the twilight of their career who can't find another job

Cons

Culture starts from the top. And this executive team continues to let history repeat itself by not providing their employees with any trust to execute on their jobs.They micromanage the entire company and squelch almost any idea that is not their own. There is a revolving door in the San Carlos marketing department. They can't hold on to good people because they realize they can leave the company and get more money, promotions and more respect working for another company.
