Pros

pays you well, however as they inch towards ipo they are reducing pay. easy to sell system company has a great product in a required market

Cons

This company does not trust their sales team to sell the product and instead wants sales to be stuck in an endless cycle of admin tasks. Incredibly archaic sales system, where the Aes are responsible for managing admin tasks through asking their opps counterparts in Pakistan for things like Sales forms, fixing subscriptions, etc. Not only this but management is so contradictory that discounted deals are often pulled back because management decided to be strict one day. The frustration in this role comes from admin and processes not actually the product itself. Several times I have had verbals from customers, however our team decided that the pre-approved discounts were not okay for that case anymore.

Pros

The people are great. Good direct managers and team members that are all working towards your success.

Cons

Oversees SDR, support & OM lead to lack of quality and constant issues with customers and process. Constant pivots in account books, quotas, and KPIs lead to some AEs getting screwed with bad books, where others hoard good accounts. Inbounds are non existent and are supposed to be distributed on a round robin, but there is no transparency and a select few AEs have a significantly higher amount while others have none.
