Pros

- Decent products to sell.

Cons

- Travel policy is insulting and killing business. 90% of trips are planned within 2 weeks, so now we just don't ask to travel, which kills business. - I have to ask the SE managers to use a SE. This is the most ridiculous policy I'ver ever heard. - My SE is afraid to do his job now, because he gets in trouble from his manager for doing more than he is allow to do. - Chief Sales Exe is crazy if he thinks the inside team is going to hit the number this year. It's WAY too high. - Chief Sales Exe thinks CAPDB sales method is going to change the world. But it's nothing new. It's not like people will change the way they sell. And, why should they? We crushed our number last year. - Zero communication about product updates. Are we merging technologies with the companies we acquired? Or are we just going to sell a vision, but not an actual integrated product? Either way, it’s a mystery because no one communicates about product updates.

Pros

Good remote working options are available

Cons

Direct leadership frequently used 1:1 meetings to discuss personal matters rather than tracking project timelines, yet would later blame subordinates when timelines slipped. It was an incredibly uncomfortable environment where it felt impossible to succeed. Good ideas would be implemented and well-received by others, but direct management would find something negative to focus on, like claiming it took too long Communication from direct management was passive-aggressive and often crossed professional boundaries. The language used in team settings was frequently inappropriate, including the use of highly offensive, derogatory language disguised as jokes. I was uncomfortable most of the time I worked there.
