Not as Great as they Try to Make You Believe

Pros

Great benefits, nice offices to work in, CEO is friendly and as transparent as he can be.

Cons

The sales culture is horrific. They push for numbers by any means necessary, even if it means being dishonest or stepping on colleagues. Management really has no idea what they are doing. They make up quotas and expectations as they go along.

Pros

Awesome benefits and an amazing product that I was proud to sell.

Cons

Since going public the culture completely changed. They were adamant about having 16-20 appointments a month and 4 RFP's. If you didn't get this you were on the chopping block despite the fact that you literally had to do EVERYTHING including preparing your own presentations from scratch, marketing, demos, analysis and RFP's. The process for submitting was daunting to say the least with a miliion rules and no structured process so mistakes were common and you got email blasted to the higher ups if you made one. The amount of paperwork and preparation that had to be done was a full time job in and of itself. However, they could care less. The managers are paid on how many meetings you have which is ridiculous! No wonder that's all they care about. It should be based on revenue not on meetings. The company has lost over 50% of it's stock value this year in large part due to the way they have handled their employees. I've never seen such bad retention rates. They definitely oversold the position and what would be expected.
