Pros

Strong name brand that is known well in the sales/tech space

Cons

Everything else. I was super pumped to come to Outreach and then immediately regretted the decision. From an onboarding experience that was me sitting (in-office) watching videos that I'd later come to learn from my manager were SO out of date he was mad I was spending my time on them, to a sales leader (who is now fired) who had never been a seller before - the whole company is like a bad trip. Culture wise - the CEO is the poster child of toxic masculinity. Wants everyone in office for "the vibes" even though we sit at our desks on Zoom calls for most the day to sales leaders that clearly favor "the boys" versus everyone else. Revenue - missing our number by 80% since Q4 last year, literally bleeding customers and $$$ Customer Success - we laid off all our CS people so our customers have ZERO support if they spend less than $40k a year. Somehow leadership has just learned the trope the 80% of the revenue comes from 20% of the customers, yet they seem to want to punish the 80% and invest absolutely NOTHING in their success - so that 80% will never get even the chance to be part of that 20% and who would want to be after being treated so poorly. Rolling out a new product or functionality that is always half baked or broken - leaving the sellers to SELL THE ROADMAP

Pros

Great views from the office in Seattle

Cons

Outreach is a sinking ship; all competent senior leadership left in the summer of 2023. Replacements are a mixture of inept Sales Managers promoted to VP or what I can only describe as a cadre of 90s used car salesmen. Product changes are to the detriment of the customer base, and the current go-to-market strategy is non-existent. If you're considering a job here (don't), it might still look decent on a resume, but please know there's exactly 0% chance you'll get a bonus or hit on-target earnings. Also, when they fire-sell to a PE firm in six months, you'll make nothing even if you've vested by then. If you're a potential customer (don't), then know that your implementation will be rushed with cut corners everywhere. The only time you'll hear from Outreach is in the last 60 days of your contract as they beg you to stay. Outreach was a rocket ship that wasted it's fuel (strong product, amazing people) and now the only thing that's left is a slow and painful crash.

Pros

Being part of a rocket ship and the free coffee

Cons

Inexperienced and competitive managers in Customer Success. A lot of managers, especially the leader of Customer Success, are highly inexperienced. I have experienced and witnessed incidents that are questionable and highly unprofessional. People are complimented for working late instead of driving results.
