Pros

- Core incident response product is great and well liked by customer end users.

Cons

- Mediocre on-boarding. - Awful territory planning, 50/50 chance you'll do well. - New sales hires get the scraps and their territory is picked dry when they get it. - Managers offer generic coaching. - Tons of people leaving across the business and lots of quiet firings, which makes it hard to bring in specialists or tenured folks on deals (they're stretched thin or gone completely). - Company's selling culture was highly transactional the last few years, resulting in customers viewing the company strictly as a vendor rather than a the strategic partner they'd like to be viewed as. - Inbound leads are non-existent. - Average deal size small compared to quotas. - Enterprise teams are constantly pushed to conduct more transactional deals versus strategic ones. - New Runduck automation product is expensive and complex to sell with little to no support from specialists. - Zero coordination between sales and marketing. - Marketing basically passes their job off to sales. - Constant fire drills. - Terrible hand offs on accounts, no strategy, no notes, rarely any existing relationships. - Heavy expectation of sales to make up the gaps in the business. - Majority of customer success team isn't helpful at all. - Company is facing customer attrition for the first time in it's history and it doesn't know what to do about it. - Exec leaders are scrambling to course correct, but the constant fire drills counteract their efforts. - Comp is meh, but if you sell a whale of a deal it's not bad...but good luck being new and getting a whale. - Pipeline and opportunity structure is a joke, unless an opportunity is basically at the demo or deal negotiation stage, don't enter it. - If you as multiple people what the standard is, you will get multiple answers, and you have a pipeline generation target too. - Obvious favoritism.

Hello and thank you for sharing your feedback, concerns and the areas you believe that we can improve as an organization. We would like to remind you that PD has a policy against and does not tolerate discrimination, harassment, favoritism, or retaliation. PagerDuty is committed to an environment where open, honest communications are the expectation, not the exception. We want our employees to feel comfortable in approaching their management in instances where they believe violations of policies or standards have occurred. However, in situations where they prefer to not engage their management they are encouraged to use the EthicsPoint hotline, hosted by a third-party hotline provider, to submit an anonymous report. They may also contact an HR Business Partner. We value your feedback to help us improve our processes. We have made recent Sales Enablement training investments internally to continue to improve how our current Sales Organization and new hires engage with customers strategically, and to drive consistent standards internally. This training investment will also improve how we onboard and ramp our salesforce. Additionally, PagerDuty continuously evaluates our compensation structure to remain competitive in the market. PagerDuty has always championed the customer, this is why we consider this our first and foremost company value. In Q2, PagerDuty advanced our generative AI offerings, expanding the Operations Cloud to address our customers’ top priorities – to protect and grow revenue, reduce operating costs and mitigate risk. We continue to accelerate momentum with our new products in our enterprise customer segment, which remains engaged. Our sales team is an important part of the customer feedback loop and we encourage you to share your experience and feedback with your Marketing and Customer Success counterparts so that we can continue to #runtogether in supporting our Customers. We take all concerns seriously and will address them accordingly. We are committed to creating an environment where all employees feel included, engaged and productive.

Great product...Poor management

Pros

This product has amazing potential in the market, and has grown significantly in the past few years.

Cons

Management needs improvement beyond belief. High turnover in all departments not because people are dissatisfied with PagerDuty as a product, but they cannot bear to work with the managers. It seems as though people have adopted "it's not my responsibility" approach when asked to help out with something. Very little accountability and transparency. Major internal issues that need to be addressed, instead, these issues are constantly pushed aside and creating an environment filled with unhappy employees.

Pros

Some great people, the usual tech perks like lunch and a fully stocked kitchen.

Cons

Sales leadership that does not have its team in mind. Late on deadlines for getting comp plans to reps. Making atrocious decisions without consulting sales that have numerous negative impacts. Micro managers that can't focus on the bigger picture. The same issues and problems repeat themselves day after day, month after month, year after year...
