Pros

The pros I will mention, are essentially smoke & mirrors: Selling cloud technology Mac computer What seems to be a fun culture for those working in San Francisco

Cons

Management: They have no idea how to develop their employees. They manage to details that do not develop talent, or increase performance. They take a negative view on all aspects of their business and are more worried about maintaining salesforce hygiene than they are making their people better. The company has little support for remote employees. The company has no training and development. The company operates like it has 25 employees , not 700 The technology isn't as mature as I was lead to believe in the interview process The sales quotas are unrealistic and not proportioned to the territory. Dramatically understaffed with sales engineers which makes running an effective sales cycle almost impossible. Need an answer to something? good luck. Employees are either over worked, or simply don't care. I'm not sure which. Over 90% of the sales team is under 100% of plan, therefore your quotas are way off.

Thank you for your feedback. It is unfortunate to see this sort of feedback from anyone, but it can only help us improve in areas where people feel frustrated and in need to training. Luckily we have a plan that includes a deeper level of training and development for our employees. Additionally, I would love to have the opportunity to discuss your concerns in person if you are so inclined. All feedback, positive and constructive, helps us be a better organization.
