Pros

Good people although most have left or looking to leave. Great office with excellent access to public transportation. Lots of free food and drinks. People like to have fun. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Cons

Poor leadership and high turnover. Most people have been there for over 5 years or under one year. No sales strategy other than early renewals and price discounts. Features needed for successful channel product lacking. No RMM, active directory, and policy settings. Price point too low for serious channel partners. Sales and Marketing are constantly spamming direct customers with discounts. This upsets the channel partners. The appliance, which is channel exclusive, lacking basic features like VMWare backup, true cloud recovery, and amount of backup space is too small (only 1TB). Also appliance launched was plagued by delays. Lacking proper tech support for channel partners, needs to be 24/7 with sales and support on the same CRM.
