Unitrends reviews

I rated the organization a 4 star with the understanding that change is needed to grow. Change isn't always perfect. Yes, the company tried a new sales organization structure this year, it didn't fully work. With the same end result in mind we needed to change again. An uncomfortable reality of becoming a sales professional is the realization that you need to perform, you absolutely have to perform. I fully admit there have been uncomfortable moments while transforming our go to market, but the team is strong, and the product is stronger.

From 2012-2014, Unitrends was one of the fastest growing tech companies for data backup and was a truly enjoyable place to work. Then the powers at Venture Insight ousted most of the upper management and it has been a disaster ever since. New CEO Kevin Weiss took over and promised a huge upswing in marketing (marketing is almost entirely non-existent), promised tremendous lead flow (can't remember the last lead that came in) and despite everyone's protests, further divided the sales floor into private and public sector (they only just got rid of that flawed plan and put things back to the way they were but not after laying off near 40% of the company). Moreover, I used to love working here. Now, if you don't gel your hair or talk superheros with certain managers (aka drink the kool-aid), you can hit quota, not be disgruntled or an otherwise distraction and still get fired. Never mind the fact that quota is almost completely unattainable.
