65%+ turnover rate (sales) in 2017 Culture is horrific for a sales person No channel strategy, whatsoever Quota's are certainly not based on historical data Got a PO? Good luck getting it processed internally Legal serves as a purpose driven prohibitor - this is not an over-exaggeration Engineers do so much, receive minimal reward Refusal to put dollars in areas of need (Dealdesk, Order Entry, Legal, Commissions) 2 people managing commissions for the entire company in 2017 Lack of focus on primary competitors - go get em' Bullish to a point of fault - vision is severely limited Awards focused on logos, not the reps who got the deals over the finish line CFO required for approving sub $5K quotes A purposefully flawed compensation plan - house wins every time My own boss encouraged me to leave in 2017 Several Field RD's who've never actually done field sales, insulting Treated as a number rather than a valued employee Manual processes across the board to appease non-quota carrying goons Up-sell/cross-sell is not rewarded nor outlined in the aforementioned comp plan Witnessed senior leadership ridicule employees who left for greener pasture - professionalism.. People are miserable here, talk to a friend

The company is completely screwed. It was a great company to work for for 10+ years, had an amazing and supportive employee culture, with great success on the market. But then it was handed over to new management who implemented layoffs, RTO, and openly mocked anyone who was hurt by the decision re: childcare ("my problems are your problems and your problems are your problems" - said several times by Sumit Dhawan). The CEO hired a security detail to protect himself from his own employees. That should really tell you how things are going. It sucks, because I really want to like this company and continue working here, but I can't justify it any more. And even if I stayed, the company will probably go under in the next 5 years after this chaos.
