      Excellent Technology but Immature Sales Management

      Sales

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent Technology, Great co-workers (non managerial), Flexible Time- Off policy

      Cons

      Extremely immature sales management and lack of leadership in the Mid- Enterprise area. More than 75% of sales associates are not making their numbers due to constant distraction and 'non-sense' rules of engagements. Nepotism & Favoritism are lot higher here, "if can't be friends with your manager than you are NOT moving up in this company".

      Middle Enterprise Account Executive

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good people, good leadership at a high level. The products are best in class, the sales cycle is pretty strait forward and can be short.

      Cons

      They do not promote often from within and when they do they do not pay competitively for the position or role promoted too. They have internal challenges with pushing deals through their internal systems that are not very flexible with customers or the sales team. Pay was not competitive with other companies in the area selling security products.
