Mislead on culture

Pros

Good compensation if you can actually hit the ridiculous targets they pull out of a hat.

Cons

Sales LEADERSHIP -When I was hired in here I was preached to about how excellent the culture was and how unbeatable it was. I was told it would take “18 months to ramp up and really know what I was doing”. My hiring manager got promoted 5 months into the role for me and they brought in some hot shot cut throat who put everyone on PIPS regardless of tenure. I was 3 months live in territory and put on a PIP even though I built a monster pipe and had many deals ready to close for Q2. Bottom line they brought in new leadership who was awful and treated people awful and started firing people on the team. Horrible management. Offers no feedback during 1-1s or help with anything at all. Don’t work for their “lower corp” space. You’ll be shown the door before one year is up if you’re not hitting numbers. Although “it takes 18 months to ramp up and know what you’re doing”.

Fantastic while there - Sudden and Inappropriate Exit

Pros

Well balanced KPIs between expectations and realistic ability to deliver. Reliable and professional coworkers, consistent messaging and policy. Good benefits, decent pay. Felt stable...

Cons

Regardless of time in role, value to the company, or anything you've done - you will get fired for no reason at the drop of a hat from some knee jerk decision or some new person coming in and wanting to make a mark. No severance for years with the company with no raise or bonus, no consideration for applying knowledge or skill set anywhere else in the company. Nothing. Just a kick out the door and a good luck. Also, Senior Leadership makes near-sighted decisions instead of being stubborn in their strategy for the long term, at a very high cost to the company. They will not last long with the onslaught of new entrants in the market. Vertex is stuck in their concepts with very old technology with no desire to bring it up to present day competitiveness. They miss the mark badly when trying to understand the broader market than just relationships with Oracle and SAP.

Pros

Great work-life balance, M-F 9-5 PM, not expected to work more than that. Everyone is professional, and there is basically no drama. The work is varied, and management seems to care about your career development. Work is fully remote. FTA is nice.

Cons

Occasionally have to do on-call rotation during holiday periods, but usually events don't happen during rotation. Some dated ceremonies like annual performance reviews. A bit hard to move up in the company.
