Pros

The company is hiring. If you are in college or just out of college they will hire you. There are a few folks who are really knowledgeable and very helpful - mostly in lower level sales and marketing. These select few are really the meaning behind the "culture of awesome". The Sales Enablement team will give you training in the beginning. You will get a new computer when you start. They understand if you have a family issue and are flexible there.

Cons

SevOne stands for Severity One - a very scary term for IT professionals. Try to sell when you open with that name. Ug. If you are not from the ITSM industry, you will not succeed in a sales role at this company. The company says it has a culture of 'awesome' but that is simply a way to convince people to work here - it's not real. The company says it wants to go public in two years but the numbers are not there. Benefits are ok, but you will not get stock options. Bain Capital's investment made sure of that. There is a new CEO from Bain Capital and that means that the company is still in transition. Look out for continued layoffs with a continued hiring push to please wall street. This is very costly for a start-up in costs and employee moral. The 80/20 rule really applies here; i.e. only 20% of the sales team is making 80% of the revenue. Sales enablement is a joke. The product is buggy and it's hard to be competitive to prove ROI. If you join as a sales person this year, you will not make commission this year.

High School for some.......Slavery for others.........

Pros

Decent pay, and ok benefits. Biweekly lunches and weekly Mr. Softee visits are nice in the summer.

Cons

Some friendly people, but most are part of a clique. Like High School, employees have events, clubs and socials as a way to meet and interact with others. Although, unless your part of the in crowd, you do not matter. Across the board, no one in management is either a class act or a leader in any sense. Manager's manage, Directors direct, but there is no motivation or understanding of what goes on day to day in there department. It is a very selfish environment to work in. There is no reward program, no incentives, just a lot of work.

Thank you for your comments. I am happy to hear you are enjoying some of the fun perks we offer to our employees. Negative feedback (if constructive) is invaluable as it offers insight into areas we can improve on. I strongly disagree with your evaluation of our management team and their talents and capabilities. Without solid leadership we would not be as successful as we are today. I also assure you we as a Company continuously introduce new incentives to reward our employees for their hard work and dedication. After all, having fun is part of our Culture of Awesome. This is an exciting and rapid fire time for us. It's our passion, talent, performance, and respect that are driving our success.
