Not The Company it Once Was

Account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Supportive teammates, industry leading products, opportunity for BDR advancement, excellent local leadership and onboarding team, and exposure to a fast-moving environment.

Cons

Demanding role that combines account management, customer success, and support responsibilities while still carrying a sales quota. Work hours span multiple time zones, making work-life balance challenging. Unlimited PTO is significantly limited by blackout periods. Frequent territory changes, internal meetings, and shorter performance cycles make quota attainment extremely challenging. Role was presented as three days in the office and two days remote, but was recently changed to four days in the office. This shift came right after HR acknowledged negative employee feedback about "the relentless pace" and lack of focus on well-being, which indicated senior leadership is not listening. Culture of burnout. (A shift that came after the acquisition by Thoma Bravo. It used to be an amazing place to work.) Base pay is very low for the expectations, and there is NO quota relief for LOA, FMLA, or parental leave.
