Pros

Austin office is brand new and super nice (5 stories) in the middle of East Austin. The job can be good depending on who your manager is and how good they are at selling/managing.

Cons

1) Mid -Market got broken into two (commercial and digital native emerging), which has made it much harder for an individual to pick up solid accounts since the pool size has shrunk. 2) AE's that have been here for a while have all the good accounts, so new reps are stuck with what's left. 3) We often lose deals to our Self-Service plans since most of our tools people can get free or for $25 or $250 a month. 4) We sell way too many technical solutions. Hard to get familiar with all of them.

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.
