Both commissions and base salary are good. They manage to hire excellent support staff so that AEs can do their jobs.
Cons
Micromanagement from CEO down creates a negative atmosphere of constant stress for AEs. The goalpost is always changing. Meeting company and management expectations is impossible since the boxes to check are infinite and always evolving. Commission structures change quarterly to meet whims of CEO and upper management. Overall, successful AEs are not given the chance to use their own intelligence and skills to work effectively.
Nice people on my immediate team, new office in irvine, lots of training.. too much?
Cons
awful leadership, change goals often, no explanations, given double quotas, micromanaging, track your every move, things are black or white, no job security in sales, they will put you on a pip for any of the dozen metrics you dont hit, not great product, bad reputation among clients
