Growing, but success is not shared

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- The product is great, competitive, adds value, and it works - Salary is competitive - Solid Product training - Interesting vertical

Cons

- Nepotism is rampant - Meritocracy does not exist - Solid Sales Reps are having very little success outside of the Bay area. - The culture is more of a Stockholm syndrome, where everyone is just trying to hang-on and say they are “happy” but they are just waiting for the company to IPO, so they can leave. - Sales Regions are bloated with Sales Reps, which creates a toxic culture of undermining colleagues in hopes they get let go so you can get their accounts. - Power grabs happening at the RVP, District Manager, and Sales Rep level. Thus, undermining and smearing your colleagues is a common practice. - The only people that are hitting their number are Sr. Sales Leadership. Sr. Sales Leadership "pad" their quota and give Sales Reps untenable quotas.

Smoke and Mirrors

Business Outlook

Pros

Great product, burgeoning partner program.

Cons

No one is making their numbers. Sales territories over-saturated. In 2018, there were several management changes made- some only on-board for less than a year. This confusion trickled down to the sales teams and lots of people "sleeping with one eye open." Not fun anymore. Not what it used to be in 2016-2017. Everyone is coming on board waiting for a big Exit but in reality, they have taken on so much funding that the equity packages are small and very diluted at this point. Only the early employees (pre-2016) are going to make big money via IPO or acquisition.
