Pros

high base salary, great co-workers, good products

Cons

CEO doesn't believe in sales org because he thinks his products sell themselves. Lot's of changes being made constantly to book of accounts, ROE, and accounts that you have made progress on get taken away, pipeline further than a quarter out is discouraged and is not considered an opportunity, No clear, consistent sales strategy, over 60% of reps not hitting quota, they give too much away on self serve plans to sell to mid market customers. There are days you will not leave your desk.

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.
