Pros

I did have the opportunity to meet some exceptional individuals at FullStory, including front-line managers, account executives, account managers, sales engineers, and renewals managers. These people have become lifelong friends, and that is the only positive takeaway from my time with this company.

Cons

My experience at FullStory was disappointing, and I feel compelled to share my thoughts to help others considering a position here. When I joined FullStory as a member of the sales team, I had high hopes and expected to excel. However, within the first month, I realized that there were issues within the leadership team. I observed instances where higher leadership referred to the sales representatives in derogatory terms, which created a demotivating environment. It's important to note that the sales team was genuinely putting in effort and working with the given directions. Additionally, in the current economic climate, achieving quotas became increasingly challenging, yet leadership did not consider the extenuating circumstances. Instead, they expected us to increase our outreach efforts to struggling clients, without taking into account their own difficulties. Moreover, the leadership team at FullStory made questionable business decisions. One such decision was the sudden introduction of an Account Management team, which unfortunately proved to be a failure. The implementation of this team resulted in reduced base pays and commissions, while maintaining the same monthly/quarterly quota as Account Executives. Despite the concerns expressed by the sales representatives to both leadership and HR through multiple channels, their feedback was disregarded. Consequently, within a short period, the Account Management team saw a significant drop in numbers, with only three members remaining out of the original eleven in just two and a half months. My advice to FullStory's leadership is to genuinely care about their employees and embody the values they preach, such as empathy and trust. Currently, it appears that FullStory is in a desperate state, deviating from their original principles. Personally, I didn't learn anything new from FullStory, except how to sell aggressively, potentially leaving clients with a negative impression. This approach does not align with my personal values or how I prefer to conduct business with. I wish FullStory the best of luck in learning from their mistakes. However, it seems unlikely with the current leadership in place.

Amazing Product - Poor Leadership

Recommend

Pros

The product itself in terms of the competitive landscape is absolutely amazing. The culture outside of sales appears to be fantastic. The benefits are incredible as they pay for all your health costs—a great 401k match.

Cons

Where do I even begin? There is absolutely zero trust in the people they hire. I've been asked to send screenshots of messages through LI, text, and emails (if they're not captured). Expect zero positive feedback and always expect that what you're doing will never satisfy leadership. They have unlimited PTO but will question you when you take it "please let me know why you are taking 3 days off? Leadership expressed some concerns". There is plenty of times when I was called names on team calls and called out for poor examples on how to do things. I've never witnessed so many people leave during onboarding or while getting promoted at any company. They offer great base pay but no one hits their OTE. They dramatically increased quotas based on a few large deals from last year that were years in the making. Leadership does not know how to run a large org and asks to be part of every little aspect of your deals which is very concerning. The sales culture is the worst I've seen. They have some of the best sales folks but due to poor leadership, they lose confidence and perform poorly. There is no accountability at the top.

Thank you for taking the time to share your story. Though you named a few things about your experience at FullStory that you liked, we hate to see that overall, you were hoping for a better outcome working within the Sales organization. We take feedback seriously and view what you’ve shared as an opportunity to grow, and we wanted to share a few changes that are in the works: While we’re passionate about contacting inbound leads quickly at FullStory and may reach out to check in, it helps us to know that sometimes those requests to action leads could have a more personalized and empathetic tone. The last thing we want to hear is that they landed poorly with you, and moving forward, we’ll take that into consideration. In addition, we're addressing the changing market and aligning the incentive program via mid-period adjustments and SPIFFs. We’re also implementing more training to help individuals succeed in their roles, invest more in our product, and sell FullStory’s platform with ease and confidence. Again, thank you for your feedback - we appreciate it.
