Pros

There are many smart people who you can learn from. Most members of my team are great to work with.

Cons

Silo mentality among teams when each team does not care what others are doing, and then when things break, people freak out. Layoffs after layoffs, and the funny thing is that they let go of people who actually work and keep all of the directors around. There are too many directors and senior managers but only a few people could bring anything valuable to the table. The rest just talk, talk, and talk. They said layoffs were necessary for the company to be efficient but they have many offsites when they could just zoom instead. Who doesn't like free travel and fancy dinners right?

While we are disappointed to read your review, we definitely agree that we have many great people on our team, and we also agree that silos stand in the way of any organization's success. That's why we're focused on building connections and breaking down any barriers that may hold our teams back. Most importantly however, we don't agree with your take on our business. We're frustrated that any employee would feel this way and would like to see how we can help. We fully believe that transparent conversations drive success for us all and sincerely hope you'll reach out to your manager or HR partner to have a productive discussion about what's on your mind.

Pros

Great work/life balance culture, focusing on flexibility and choice (for example, they give you the option to work from home or in the office if you live close to one). There is a strong push on wellness with 4 wellness days and year and a brand-new wellness allowance.

Cons

I've worked in enough companies to understand that there are challenges in every company. I see the leadership trying to solve their problems by listening to employees. I don't think Alludo has any cons that outweigh the pros.

Pros

The money and benefits were great. The HR dept is amazing, marketing staff is SO talented, engineers and tech support are not only accessible, but happy to jump on a call. They address software issues for customers right away. They offer hands-on assistance to partners\resellers. I loved the money - The most I've ever made (consecutively) year to year, in sales. Not too much travel, but when there was, the per diem was very fair and allowed for pretty comfortable accommodations. The people are amazing. Always willing to help, positive, etc. I worked on some awesome sales teams. The first 2 years were the best. My goal was to stay for 5 years.

Cons

Constant sales management and VP changes. Change is normal, but every 6 months is something else. Of course, in sales, they only really value those who produce, which is expected, but there is extreme favoritism in terms of territories. Rules can be slightly and sometimes grossly skewed for the right people. Managers at the VP level are untouchable if they are well-connected, even when they behave badly or inappropriately. They lay off, then hire more, then change direction, again and again, etc., etc. It's normal for leadership to make changes when one direction is not fruitful, but it's not easy to be the one who must start over..again.
