Pros

Some ISR's and reps had been decent and have tried to stay positive but all have been put in a untenable situation.

Cons

The cracks in every department are now giant crevices, many programs, projects have halted, either due to lack of quality leaders remained & cuts are all too common. The rationale behind some of the individuals cut between good and the toxic staff who are best friends with the leadership is creating a nightmare experience for everyone else, did they think this level of favoritism would not have such a damning effect?

Pros

Nothing I can really think about

Cons

A high-profile sales leader, who was initially celebrated upon arrival, has now departed, leaving behind a trail of confusion. What happens to the famous channel strategy now ? While it may have provided some material for the CEO's AMAs, it seems unlikely that anyone will demand accountability in this fiefdom. The email justification for his departure citing reluctance to move to different location seems quite unusual. Am pretty sure that the poor guy was not allowed to get his job done, by continuous haggling from above.It's almost as if they assume we're all easily persuaded and won't question their decisions. The sales department's future in this company appears uncertain, and given the recent wave of departures, the product division is also facing challenges.It's becoming evident that both our sales and product teams are in need of a serious reassessment.Forget Quota Crushers , this place feels more like soul crushers :)

CEO Who Shouldn't Be a CEO

Pros

very good professional colleagues , free food once a week.

Cons

The new CEO has created a huge leadership crisis in the company across all departments since the day he joined. He has started a huge rift between employees by hiring tons of people from his old company without following the company's hiring practices, from his level team to account executive. This has created a two-tier system where his former colleagues are given preferential treatment, while existing employees are marginalized. It is clear that this CEO leading bad example.
