Solid amid constant change

Sr. account executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Product is best in the market. Once customers "get it" and adopt, its sticky and light touch. There is a lot of wind at the back and great brand recognition. Pay is above average in the industry. Stock is doing well. I trust my direct manager and enjoy my team.

Cons

Job security and internal process. There has been consistent change with leadership rolling over - bringing their people, changes, and process is chaos. It is really hard to internally operate very simple things like quoting and deal momentum. Territories and accounts don't set reps up to succeed. Don't just send me a link to a 3 year old wiki page. Lots of passing the buck. Support is terrible. Hope your customers aren't the squeaky wheel.

Business Outlook

Pros

You work with top talent from around the globe, there's always something to learn and you're encouraged to grow and reach out.

Cons

Company is slowly transitioning from a remote workforce to an RTO mandate. Hiring is too slow. Middle management bloat. Workload for some roles is high.
