      RUN! stay away from APAC sales team

      Commercial account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      excellent product. that’s literally it.

      Cons

      - terrible terrible micro-management - all AEs leave as soon as they get their shares vested in the first year. No one in Singapore office stays more than exactly a year - racism (all upper management management is white , no locals ) - quota is IMPOSSIBLE to hit . Too US centric. This is Asia, same rules don’t apply but management is thick skinned and delusional - literally selling between $100-$500 deals as average selling price (almost embarrassing)

      Great product, great benefits, would not recommend for sales role

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Best in class product that solves real problems. Strong engineering and product team, always innovating and adding more for customers. Great benefits = stock options, healthcare package, fitness expense, phone expense, access to Udemy. Thorough sales training. Great product training, so don't worry if you don't have a technical background. Lots of internal promotions for those who stick it out and "trust the process". Collaboration with sales engineers. Massive growth.

      Cons

      High turnover in sales Unrealistic sales structure in EMEA, targets are the same in every region. 1/40 commercial reps in EMEA hit their annual sales quota. The culture of underperforming is accepted. Comp plan isn't achievable. Leadership in the US are not open to change. No real autonomy for your given role. Heavy outbound focus with little or no sales tools. It's a very manual process, most of your time is spent cold calling offices that are closed or sending manual emails to try and book meetings. Extremely monotonous. More focus on outbound pipeline generation vs. actually selling or closing deals.
