Pros

Good products, but seen as nice to have

Cons

You name it! Process and policy in place for everything Metrics are unattainable long term Commercial focus, no commitment to Federal and slower sales cycles Way too much middle management Hire people with little to no experience and promote to roles before they are ready Tons of turn over as well as people backing out on offers they're accepted

Pros

If you are willing to work hard, hard enough to really be in the top few percent, there are opportunities to advance. You can be promoted in 5-8 months. There is a fair bit of training, which the company is slowly improving. The CEO is a real visionary. He's remarkably passionate and motivated and it's inspiring to work at his company.

Cons

The pressure-cooker environment isn't for everyone. It gets exhausting, particularly without any form of reward (bonus, presents to employees, trips, team-building, etc). The quotas are set very aggressively, with little consideration of what is realistic, which makes it very frustrating and difficult to assess performance. Management has little patience for under-achievers, despite the lack of training.

Pros

They pay well and they actually have a good product. The fact that their product is as amazing as it is is what will keep them afloat.

Cons

This company has a pressure cooker culture, I was physically ill walking through the door every day. The inside sales staff has only two week of training before getting on the phones and the training is done by the marketing department! They have no real trainers with actual education experience. They call their training "drinking from a hire hose" and laugh about it. Management has no issues with taking the newest employee on the team and throwing them to the wolves, making them the scapegoat when something goes wrong. There's no proactive responses, and all reactions fail to be well thought out. As a result, something is always going wrong and they all run around like chickens without heads. HR is totally incompetent, nobody knows how they get paid on commissions, and nobody knows what they're doing. How half of these people got hired in the first place remains a mystery as they don't seem to have any experience in their fields. All in all, the company is a mess.
