Pros

Start up mentality, very flat organization, strong customer base

Cons

Reckless layoffs conducted without any seeming methodology or care for the employee. Constant reorgs cause a chaotic culture and don’t foster a community of collaboration. Poor benefits such as no ESPP have always been outweighed by a strong stock price which lost 30% in value after a poor quarter. Employee morale, especially within sales and marketing is at an all time low

Pros

- On target OTE and uncapped commissions - Great overall work culture - A lot of cool Field marketing events - Ability to expense dinners, entertainment, gifts for clients - Great company vision and a broad security fabric portfolio with several third party validations for a well-known cybersecurity brand makes it easy to sell and be successful.

Cons

- New business quotas are the same for every seller at least on my team, who all have very different territories, some with more white space heavy accounts that can be much more challenging to hit quota compared to other territories. Quotas went up by 20% from previous year. - Too many internal systems to navigate - processes and sales enablement tools could be more efficient - You can be the top performer in your US sales segment, and still not make it to President's Club because of the way it's structured - competing against different segments and only top 3-4% get to go each year. Rewarding top performers in general is an area needing improvement in my opinion.
