A sinking ship

Pros

If you get hired, you can coast, look busy, and get paid for longer than you should.

Cons

The overall culture is a bunch of shrugged shoulders while leadership guts the company to maintain top-level cronyism. This company cannot get out of its own way.

Pros

The benefits and compensation are excellent. Great health insurance options, unlimited vacation, depending on where you are in the world you work from home or hybrid is still a thing. Also pretty robust marketing budgets, and used to be pretty well staffed.

Cons

There are some good people there but overall it’s a pretty toxic work environment. Executive leadership has unrealistic expectations, and then they are rude and disrespectful to you if you don’t meet them. If you do by some miracle meet goals there is no acknowledgment of it by leadership. Death by meeting is rampant. Expect no less than 5 meetings per day and not much time to do your work. Also efforts toward diversity and inclusion are a joke. They just laid off 75% of the diversity on their marketing team.

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.
