Pros

- Good products but that’s about it - Great stepping stone - Great place to coast if you want to just rest and vest

Cons

- Everything has to be approved by Israel - CEO will blame US sales for lackluster talent without taking ownership on lackluster internal training and development needed to help them become high-performing sales reps (HR won’t help either) - Get ready not to be paid a penny on commission and then expect a statement at the end of they year stating that you owe them money for “overpayment” on commission - Also expect not to make any sense of the commission statements you get - You’d be lucky to even get a comp plan before H2 - By the time you get your bonus, it’s been withheld because of the money you owe for “overpayment” - Just don’t even bother

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
