Pros

Great Products in several market segments. Good SE’s , Enterprise Sales Team , CSMs and Marketing. Lot’s of tools and data to leverage and become enabled.

Cons

This company has succeded to get to 1B despite a 1990s dyfunctional chaos structure . How the board of directors with has allowed this place to continue to operate without any regional alignment of CSMs, BDRs, SEs, renewal reps together with sales teams makes it impossible to be poised for growth.. So much wasted time and opportunities due to mosh pit management with no alignment. It looks like amnature hour compared to all of its competitors or any 1B software compaany. This place cant attract nor maintain seasoned sales and renewal reps because of its entitled woke millenial culture and unqualified /green sales management that allow the inmates to run the asylum. You have millenials that smart off to anyone they please in email and chats with no reprucussions. These belly aching babies had zero enterprise software before they were hired.
