      Great before Thoma Bravo

      Middle enterprise account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great product, best in breed technologies. Great people to work with.

      Cons

      Unrealistic expectations for Commercial sales post TB acquisition. Gary Steele and Ashan were amazing CEO's. New CEO Sumit is a huge downgrade. Lack of upward mobility into Named Account sales. Some managers will take a chance on you if you've performed well. Most will not, even if you make president's club multiple times - it's almost as if they look down on Commercial reps.
