Pros

You will definitely be working with some of the most talented salespeople here

Cons

Leadership does not support sales, which leads to the following: - Salespeople are expected to do a lot with very little support. No relevant training, the training we do receive on products are useless because they just give away majority of features for "freemium low prices", and are proud of that, but still expect sales to sell the extra expensive Enterprise version of everything. - Does not take responsibility when not hitting sales targets, but plays the typical blame sales game, instead of focusing on differentiating product and pricing strategies. - The pricing model is unclear, and no one can explain to me how it really works. Conclusion: Sales beware

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
