Unattainable quotas (15% fully ramped attainment), high turnover, will fire you if you don’t hit all metrics (even if you hit quota)

The main cons I found can be split into 2 categories (again specific to marketing): 1. Data team: - If you work in any of the growth / demand gen roles, you will have significant exposure to data science team . The team itself has some great IC's on it, however, the leadership approach adopted by the team's director has room for improvement, particularly in terms of interpersonal communication and management practices. There have been instances where the tone and manner of feedback could be perceived as less constructive, potentially impacting team morale and productivity. -Additionally the output is of the leader, which guides your goals & day-to-day work, is often on the weaker side. For example, the attribution system—a critical component for the company's pipeline generation—managed by him is quite poor theoretically and broken in practical implementation. 2. Marketing HR Practices: - The HR practices within the Marketing division have encountered certain inconsistencies, especially concerning the prioritisation and handling of professional conduct. - Situations involving individuals regularly drinking or smoking at their work desks received minimal intervention, whereas other instances of everyday work disagreements between colleagues led to formal reprimands. - There are also communication issues with the marketing HR. For example, one common complaint is that regularly schedule meetings with individuals and don't show up to them. I personally had this occur 3 times.
