Pros

Great product. Momentum in the market.

Cons

The management comp plan is based on 70% actual Consumption vs. 30% for new commit sales or Upgrades. It is very difficult to over-achieve. We spend 85% of our team working on Commit deals but it has very little effect on your earnings.

Pros

- great people - amazing product that sells itself once people get their hands on it - innovative company - decent ote and benefits

Cons

- comp plan this year for hunters is not aligned with company strategy of focusing on larger, multi-year commits. it incentivizes quantity of deals vs. quality of deals, and payouts on commit $$$ are peanuts.
