Pros

I happened to have a good immediate team, by luck.

Cons

Cold blooded, sudden, impersonal, and random feeling layoffs while stock price is increasing, continued external hiring, and announcing another acquisition. If I could give lower than one star, I would. Executives will literally yell at employees over nothing in the middle of large calls, and they do it frequently. Significant top talent is actively planning to leave, pending other job offers, as everyone is expressing on private group texts. The townhall was a joke. You've shown everyone who you are and where your values lie - it is not with your people. People don't feel safe and they don't feel committed to the mission when they know how expendable leadership sees them. Supposedly it doesn't even matter if its India or the US, both places are unfriendly to employees.

Pros

There are literally no pros that I can provide

Cons

Was here less than 3 months and laid off due to reorganization, redundancy and lower than expected revenue in the first half of the year, even though I hit my Q2 quota. Literally laid off on the last day of Q2 when I brought in a large (over $75K) new sale that I won’t even see the commission on. Worst company and employee experience ever. Changed my account base and account quota twice during the quarter. They overcharge their customers with their yearly “uplift” without any added benefit or value to their services. They are a complete mess and it’s no wonder why their customers are leaving and cancelling their renewals. They have lost all trust in PS. They should be called POS. Their customer/tech support is awful and will take weeks if not months to resolve a customer issue. SLT just says “work harder, build a fake pipeline so that Severin or Bain will think we are doing great!” Ugh. Gross. 20/10 do not recommend.
