Pros

Growing company, decent opportunities if your willing to give up everything.

Cons

Scottsdale management has a very skewed idea of reality. They expect you to be SLAVES to your clients. Forget having a personal life, forget spending time with your kids, forget all of that, because when a customer wants something, you have to drop everything to help them. Whatever the customer wants the customer gets, period. Only months into working for them I called it quits because I could see how miserable my life was about to get. You will have NO life and management could care less in the Scottsdale Office! Maybe its only this location that is like this, but who knows.

Pros

The product is great Flexible hybrid working - no one requires you to be at the office which is great

Cons

ZERO work/life balance, its possible you will end up working during your holidays, evenings and weekends A lot of politics Unqualified managers with no leadership qualifications They push people work extremely hard and show zero appreciation Managers change their mind right after you spend your valuable time on delivering things they want Just average benefits To summarise, they are not beyond a 'start-up' company in Europe

Pros

Flexible working arrangement for employees

Cons

I joined the organization because I knew few folks i was going to work for but I left the organization withing a year of joining. The main reason being i felt absolutely worthless everyday and was tired of being constantly micromanaged by my manager. The sales team had no clue how to work with people from different industry background and i saw them constantly blame others for their mistakes. Ideally Sales and Pre-sales team members work hand in hand but here they just needed someone to play the blame game when the deal does not go their way. The most surprising part was i had no support of my manager when i expected that most. I witnessed two resignations since my joining and both were unhappy because of this culture. Regional leaders just introducing themselves or talking in the quarterly meetings is not what is expected with leadership. When there are 4 resignations withing a year from the same team, there should be a detailed review assuming that there is something wrong or not working. But to my surprise not a single word from the US leadership or secondary leadership. When you hire a new person both parties i.e. company and the employee have spent significant time and money so there should be efforts to understand what has made them reach this decision at least if not efforts to retain them. This says a lot about how much you value your talent and really empathize about their situation.
