Pros

- Great products and engineering team - W/L balance is good

Cons

- Sales leadership is going downhill - Comp plan was massively downgraded this year and not a single person in leadership will have a call to address it. They keep shoving it off - CEO seems to be way too involved in every little aspect of the business when he should be out talking to CNBC and others like our competition. - Slow and lack of adoption on SASE when it has been clear for awhile it's where the market is headed

Pros

- On target OTE and uncapped commissions - Great overall work culture - A lot of cool Field marketing events - Ability to expense dinners, entertainment, gifts for clients - Great company vision and a broad security fabric portfolio with several third party validations for a well-known cybersecurity brand makes it easy to sell and be successful.

Cons

- New business quotas are the same for every seller at least on my team, who all have very different territories, some with more white space heavy accounts that can be much more challenging to hit quota compared to other territories. Quotas went up by 20% from previous year. - Too many internal systems to navigate - processes and sales enablement tools could be more efficient - You can be the top performer in your US sales segment, and still not make it to President's Club because of the way it's structured - competing against different segments and only top 3-4% get to go each year. Rewarding top performers in general is an area needing improvement in my opinion.
