Great Product, good people, fun events, nice snacks.

Cons

-Continue to over hire AE's and shrink territories - Ask for the Account Executive churn rate. -Micro-management is the norm -Sales goals are high and unattainable - less then 10% are even close to their Quota or OTE. -Extremely high implementation costs making solution close to impossible to sell.

Pros

Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

Cons

Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
