Great company that has been losing it's way

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- The pay and benefits are competitive - The CEO is level-headed and a true thought leader. Would give him 5 starts except that his leadership team is not high performing and inconsistent. - The unique approach to enable people to be a "manager of one" is effective (e.g., very good at documenting process and responsibilities)

Cons

- Currently, there seems to be a leadership void that is resulting in a deterioration of the company values. In at least one particular department, an interim leader leverages a fear based leadership style. - Team members are sensing chaos coming from the executive team. - There is an over emphasis on short term results over long term planning and team member experience.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work/Life Balance. Remote culture and great support for remote employees.

Cons

Some reps killed it, others struggled. Certain territories were a revolving door, ripping and replacing a competitor takes a lot of work and a long time to do effectively...quotas were designed without consideration for the type of accounts in each territory, so the pure hunter/net new territories would inevitably struggle (ie. not generate much on the commission front).
