Business outlook

Pros

* Some of the best people to work with. Really, honestly brilliant people surround you daily. * Great product that fits a very necessary business need, and actually works as its supposed to. * Fantastic client base with some really good brands as customers. * Nice offices in Irvine and Denver area.

Cons

* Brilliant people need some brilliant executive leadership. Unfortunately with the recent-ish addition of a new CRO, culture and an environment of brilliance has faded somewhat. A not-so-subtle shift away from customer-centricity in favor of aggressive sales without any care of where customer needs end up is going to eventually bite. * Lackluster vision and strategy that differs from one executive to the next leads to confusion and disillusionment. Are we a services company? Are we a software company? Where exactly does a non-sales person fit into this org? All of this revenue-generating focus leaves those who aren't salespeople in the shadows without any support or voice to make a difference. Face it, folks, not everyone is a salesperson, nor should they be. * Compensation planning and account ownership among sales teams is distracting at best, and downright caustic at worst. The bickering between finance and sales leaves most folks in a constant state of uncertainty, not sure if they can even keep their jobs, let alone hit any goals and be successful at it. * Customer-facing confusion leads to internal frustration. Who should drive the customer relationship? If sales, be prepared to get sales fatigue from customers who don't want to buy any more and reps who are asked to do 2 (or 3) jobs.
