- sales process is a COMPLETE mess (manual quotes, what? it's 2021... and PD has been a public co for over 2 years)
- reps don't get paid correctly (we constantly had to find errors in Anaplan, file tickets, and spend weeks following up with someone to take a look and correct them) - sometimes the payout gets "adjusted" after a large sale is booked, and the comp team does not pay the full amount according to the comp plan THEY had you sign because suddenly you found a way to maximize this comp plan
- no accountability for anyone else but the IC: renewals constantly drop the ball but only the sales team is punished for any churns; BDRs rarely present AEs with legitimate meetings and their management is a total joke.
- leaders are focused on dashboards and metrics not quality
- PD began outsourcing SDRs, CSMs, and renewal departments to third parties who don't care about their own metrics resulting in poor customer experience and churn that is then blamed on AEs
