Pros

- The product and people are amazing! Such potential here... - A COO that is truly the glue here - great human. -

Cons

- The CEO's ego and lack of respect for his sales organziation will impede this companies growth and ensure they are built out as a well oiled machine. - They hire and fire without any true effort into their sales people (outside of low priced sales training that does not even apply to the process it takes to sale here). Literally burn money on a hire with irrational ramp periods and set unattainable bars to rip and replace with the exact same type of rep (has to be expensive this way). - A seriously scary feeling of not knowing what they are doing with the sales org, and panic fixing it without any accountability to the failing pricing structure and overall structure.

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
