Pros

There were honestly not any Pros working for this company and leadership team.

Cons

This was the worst work experience I've ever had in my career. The toxic culture and micro-management style of their leadership was a horrible experience. No strategy for success and no plan to execute a strategy for success. This is from lower management to the very top of leadership.

Pros

None really other than the talented and hardworking coworkers. They are good people in a bad situation. Most feel trapped.

Cons

This is one of the most poorly run companies I’ve seen. Leadership changes are abrupt, poorly communicated, and leave teams scrambling. Large portions of the go-to-market org have been cut with no clear plan, leaving the business understaffed and disorganized. Turnover across revenue roles has been high, and it’s not hard to see why. Many of the strongest sellers across North America and EMEA have left, which has impacted continuity and left customers and partners frustrated. Execution is difficult because direction constantly changes. There is heavy micromanagement, unclear priorities, and little consistency. Expectations shift frequently, making it nearly impossible to plan or build momentum. Morale reflects that. The go-to-market strategy has been reset multiple times within a year and continues to change, creating confusion in the field. Compensation and deal reporting lack transparency and consistency. What counts, when it counts, and how it’s communicated is not always clear. The culture does not reflect a stable or well-run organization. Externally, partner relationships are strained due to a heavy direct sales approach, and customer coverage has declined following team reductions. Product continuity appears impacted as well. Overall, the company feels unstable and difficult to operate within. Do thorough diligence before joining.
