Pros

There are some great people who work here who care about their jobs and the work they do. The benefits are OK, and there are some good perks like company wellness days and no-meeting Fridays.

Cons

Since Ericsson acquired Cradlepoint and especially since George stepped down as CEO the culture, perks, and morale have tanked. The new leader is cold and ruthless. I wanted to get behind a woman leader, but she's out of touch to the company. Despite people's hard work, the company isn't paying bonuses because the joke of a CSO and other leaders set unrealistic business targets. Even though the company made profits over the last year. So you'll work your butt off for the company to meet unrealistic targets, and you won't be rewarded for it. Salaries are below market and as a current employee it's hard to find motivation to work hard knowing that your hard work won't be rewarded anyway.

Pros

Great people and management. Hard working team. Very flexible with work life balance. One of the best products in their market. Good partnerships.

Cons

The commission plan is slowly getting worse every year. (Renewals don't pay out at 100% anymore, very difficult to hit quota, multiplier reduction at lower levels) are some examples. This could be different in 2024 but in previous years the quotas were almost impossible to hit in most territories (as a growth company they had to set them high) I don't know the exact number but I would guess around 15-20% of ISR's consistently hit quota. The base pay is average at best (Wages in Idaho are lower than the National average. Compared to traditional sales motions, you don't have much control on building pipeline. There's little things you can do but most of your destiny depends on which install base accounts you have and the partners in your region that are finding business.
