Sales Management needs revamping

Isr- inside sales representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get to work with some of the top scientists and engineers in the world (clients).

Cons

Company refuses to allow WFH which is causing senior people to leave and new people aren't replacing them since they can go work somewhere else for higher pay and WFH. Sales management is awful. One manager likes to brag about how they've never sold anything before and tries to avoid as much work as possible. One manager is okay at their job but will never fight for you. Upper sales management is useless and keeps pushing weekly sales challenges that take us away from our already overburdened funnels (due to not being able to hire). Insurance is okay, but could be better Salary is not competitive for the area. Good luck trying to buy a house within 2 hours of the office.

Comfortable, but probably not worth sticking around for long

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent colleagues at the team level, and lots of great team leads. My team was easily the best part of my time at MW. Great WLB. The offices are very nice if you're fond of going in. Work is interesting if you're on a specialized team or if you're lucky enough to get to work with newer tech. Stakeholder dividend is nice, but equity would be nicer.

Cons

Core values applied on a "rules for thee, not for me" basis by upper management. Despite proclaiming a "rational workplace" the rank and file were never given any reasoning for why they're required to work in the office while plenty of senior leaders have decided they themselves get to work fully remotely. Career progression is slow, based largely on tenure rather than performance. Pay could be better. Rent is rising faster than compensation in Massachusetts. Lots of teams stuck on older tech because "that's how it has always been done, it's too hard to change things now"
