Sales Director - Sales Director Pyramid Analytics Employee Review

Pyramid has a cutting edge solution that stands up incredibly well in technical evaluations. Massive support from different departments of the org and a big team component. Expertise sprinkled throughout the org to help bring specialists in when the time is right.

Lower brand awareness leads to uphill battles in sales cycles. When people see the product they tend to get it and see the vision, however the battle between champions and other key stakeholders is a short term disadvantage.

Neat product, when it worked. Forward thinking regarding AI implementation back when it was new.

Poor leadership: - CEO was disengaged. Poor communication. Never held company meetings. After massive layoffs, promised zero layoffs for the next year and then held RIFs every 3 months. - CTO would actively ridicule and make fun of others at every meeting - incredibly demoralizing. Would change his mind on a dime, often multiple times in the same meeting, and refused to put goals in writing so it was practically impossible to know what he wanted. Micromanaged teams outside his jurisdiction. Micromanagement + lack of defined goals = chaos / miserable work experience. - Company would frequently lie about the status of their product and releases, claiming features were ready but then stringing their user base along for months while they frantically worked to get the software working.
