Pros

Seem to hire really good people. Great technology, although slightly behind what the market requires right now.

Cons

Where do I start? Culture is toxic in region from the top down. Leadership across the board - APAC, ANZ and even RSD's bully reps to commit deals as revenue is so far below target. Micro managing everyone with mandatory training and check ins. Most of the good ones have left as they have seen the writing on the wall. Those that have vested all their options are praying that the stock price goes up. HR/People Partner teams are obvious about trying to bully and move people out. Have directly misrepresented information about people, the sales managers do nothing.

Pros

Great product, strong leadership, and talented people across the organization. Excellent place to learn enterprise SaaS sales and grow quickly as an SDR. Supportive team culture, good training, and a fast-paced environment with many opportunities to work with large global accounts. Strong compensation and career development opportunities for high performers.

Cons

Since the IBM acquisition, there has been uncertainty around the future structure and career path for SDRs. Communication could be more transparent regarding organizational changes, promotion opportunities, and long-term strategy for the SDR organization.
