Pros

Great products, great company with strong future.

Cons

The ITAM role might be the least desirable of job offerings. Trying to create a progression from BDR, to ISR, to ITAM, and the field, though the ITAM might be the worst position. I'm hearing from tenured staff that there are issues with how quotas are built, and appears to be some drama within that. I have experienced the quota issue personally. My quota was set at the beginning of the quarter, a new role was created that cut my territory down to about half, but they did not adjust quota. I spend more of my time trying to find my orders and less time selling. This process is not explained fully when you start working with the company. Management demands the use of using Salesforce for forecasting, but it's not used to track commissions, creating 2 sites for tracking orders. Also, orders can be placed and there's little to no requirement for the order to be tied to the ITAM, up to the individual to apply it. This could lead to missed order tracking, which leads to missed commissions, as well as an affect on reaching quota which could lead to performance reviews. Extreme amount of micro-management.

Good company

Pros

Compensation is good. Culture is good. Work/life balance is great (unlimited PTO with your direct managers approval). Stock options. Benefits are OK, not bad but I have sometimes had better over the years. (More often worse.)

Cons

Communication could be better. They have reduced the amount/opportunities for employee stock purchase and awards. I am disappointed that I don't have as much opportunity to get discounted investments in a company with such a bright future. Health benefits could be a bit better.

Solid company, competitive salary

Pros

Competitive salary, pretty generous with RSUs. Very good collaborative culture.

Cons

Typical challenges of a large company growing conservatively; scale comes at a cost of speed. A little too slow to adopt the latest and greatest tools and processes; not investing in training.
