      Managers in Gaithersburg MD office are racist and have no Idea how to function

      Inside sales account executive (sales engineer)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      you only work in that hell hole for 8 hours

      Cons

      The most unprofessional group of wannabee sales reps and managers in the business. the redneck managers have no human capital trainaing and it shows. Most current employees are children if past employees with no real world experience. Mark the CEO will burn that wole organization to the ground in 2 years max....best places to work?? hahaa that was comical. OpenText is the best place to put in your 2 week notice.

      Where sales careers die

      Enterprise sales
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of products to sell. Many potential customers. Remote based work culture. Flexibility. Entrepreneurial. Potential growth via partners. Some solid AEs out there. A few good SEs. But very short staffed.

      Cons

      If you are a senior sales executive, then this applies to you: - No promotions. This company strongly prefers to hire from the outside. If you're looking to grow your career… Trust me… This is not the place. The recruiter will lie about this. The head of global enterprise sales will too. - Less than 10 percent will hit their number. This has been consistent for many many years. Ask to see the numbers… - No raises. - Heavy emphasis on KPIs. - Weak nit-picky expense policy (daily per diem for meals is insulting). - Unethical behavior at the sales management level is tolerated. - Must be political internally to get ahead. Results and consistent performance won't matter. - Sales VPs only care about themselves. They do not serve the team or the front line. So be prepared to continually kiss butt. I can't do it. - Truly useless sales management. Ivory tower "us vs. them" mentality of VPs vs. reps. - Our top performers are leaving in droves. Never a good sign. - Extremely short staffed (for over a year) in sales support. - This stinks.

      Souless company with poor management

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Facilities are pretty nice. Hybrid work environment. Our team meetings were like group therapy.

      Cons

      1. The business practices of this company aren't congruent with the message. This company buys others, milks the revenue and cuts employees until the product sucks so bad that customers leave. 2. The executive team is a bunch of yes men that will not question the CEO. 3. The CEO is both CEO and CTO which is laughable as he is at least 15 years behind. 4. They practice stack ranking 5.HR are enforcers of the business. 6. If you are in North America your job will be moved to India. You are constantly at risk. 7. Layoffs every year leaves products minimally supported, so be prepared to be overworked. 8. Any approval to spend money goes to your executive regardless of amount. Slows everything down. 9. Low pay increases, if any. 10 constant turnover of mid level managers makes alignment impossible. 11. The stock price performance makes every equity award worth less than when it was awarded. 12. The CEO strokes his ego with talks with famous people and invites everyone to watch. Should I go on? 11. 7
