Pros

Good industry in this difficult time. Fantastic technology. Broad portfolio. Interesting story.

Cons

I wish, I had known the following before joining CS: - No existing pipeline. - Call out days every week with score cards to measure how many customer you have called and qualified or set up a meeting. - Commissions range goes from 0-50% with low percentage and than 50-100% with higher one. - If you join during the FY, your pro-rata quota for the first year, will lower down also your earning multiplicators. Even if you will achieve 100%, yourvariable salary will be much lessn than the one you negotiated. Very disappointing. - Your mobile phone expenses will be rejected if you have a plan with a device contribution. They will force you to deduct it before re-submitting. They will not offer you or pay for a mobile device. - The company is very busy with itself and most activities border with micro-management. Lot’s of Excel lists on top of the CRM.

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
