Top notch products spoiled by bureaucratic organization

Sales engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Relatively easy to sell quality product Technically advanced people easily available, if you know where to look Almost unlimited materials for learning

Cons

Bureaucratic organization, endless useless meetings. Non-existent meaningful trainings, some useless trainings. Decision-making is so distributed that everything takes forever. The process of releasing something is checked three times, but still amateur mistakes go through - raises a question why check, if nothing get checked, just box gets clicked. Seems fantastic on powerpoint, but doesn't work.
