Pros

Super relaxed . environment. Engineering especially is laid back. Any commitments are made only after taking in feedback from developers and developers have plenty of time and room to voice their opinions on deadlines. Definitely helps in having a good work life balance. Not to mention the free meals. And silicon valleyesque atmosphere. There are issues, but not major. Reducing bureaucracy and firing some top management will work wonders

Cons

Engineering leadership just does not deserve to be there. People at the top are simply not capable of handling day to day decisions that concern their employees. To add to that, there is a notion of hiring at the top. Engineering doesnt work? Well let us hire 15 new Directors to fix it. Or promoting junior level folks to higher positions is just not the way. Managers need to manage, engineers need to develop. Just because someone is a good developer, doesnt automatically make them a good leader. Definitely not a great VP.

Pros

Still a very relevant topic within the industry, you have opportunity to meet with both senior level agency contacts and clients directly. There are a lot of smart people who are pretty accessible if you make an effort to seek them out. Depending on your team and manager, pretty good work/life/telecommuting setup.

Cons

Senior sales leadership is terrible; they're entirely focused on their own job security and compensation post acquisition. Sales plans are being announced when the quarter is practically over, and everyone is being paid on accounts just inherited -- and the plan includes a high floor that could mean zero commission. No plans have been put in writing yet, which is another example of how bloated and inefficient the HR and finance teams are. We're kept in the dark about what our commission will be until the last minute. I usually don't know my own quarterly/annual attainment until a paycheck hits my bank account. Impossible to track revenue or understand calculations for commission, despite asking for detail. No idea how quotas are set. No per account quota or revenue data provided, despite requests. Very shady. Big growth targets, despite having no new products to sell and having fallen behind on the tech side. Leadership is completely out of touch on what the actual sale cycle or sales challenges are. Any revenue data we do receive is incredibly confusing because of multiple, unexplained "credits" issued by finance. No finance data matches actual volume that we pull. Impossible to know how you're tracking. Sales ops and sales support has become a huge team, but our processes have become very complicated with both employees and clients getting fed up. Finance continues to be a nightmare and not accountable. Invoice issues go unresolved or unresponded to. Clients are angry and IAS employees are caught in the middle regularly. We've lost business over it, and salespeople are penalized.

Thank you for providing your feedback. Ensuring our sales force has the tools to do their jobs with confidence is a priority for us. The practices we employ in our commission plans are based on best practice and evolve every year. While we can appreciate that change is difficult as the company moves from a small organization to a global organization at scale, it is necessary for us to look at continuous improvements which may create some getting used to.

Pros

- Unlimited vacation - Market share - Friday lunches - 401k - Opportunity is ours to lose.

Cons

- Executives are not aligned at all. - No company vision since being acquired. - Private Equity "advisors" are running the show. - Comp plans not communicated until well into the 1st quarter of the year (still waiting) - Zero marketing support for sales people. - Commission plans change constantly. No plan for AE's to actually achieve quotas. - Incoherent product marketing. - Your manager (sales) is definitely interviewing elsewhere. - Accounts on your list get moved all the time due to turnover.
