Pros

- Decent product for what it is - fair compensation, commission structure (minus loopholes) - good amount of talent on analyst teams - Some bright colleagues, good people

Cons

Far too many to mention. The positive reviews are fake, either from management or required. All of the negative reviews hold up based on my experience. I left almost immediately concerned their mediocrity might rub off. The only longstanding employees have worked together for years and simply don’t know any better which perpetuates antiquated and unethical practices. If you’re a good, smart person, you will feel guilt and regret for selling this mess to clients. - Insanely high turnover. Hiring managers lie to candidates to get them to accept offers. Anyone good sees what’s going on and 80% leave within 8 months (at all levels). - Little to no sales culture or process. There are specks of hope with certain individual contributors, but leadership simply doesn’t understand sales. No sales tools, no logic behind any system or process. - Company says it’s customer-centric but doesn’t know what that means. They align 4-5 sales teams against accounts that aren’t incentivized to work together. They treat customers poorly, shove unnecessary features down their throat, and blame reps for their long history of failure. - No real strategy. No proprietary value in product. Not a need to have. - Questionable business practices with customers. Shady work arounds by leadership to fake positive results. - Management will manipulate compensation, lie, and falsely promise change just to keep you in seat. - Publicly traded company, but the math doesn’t add up. There’s no way it’s profitable, or even 1/3 as valuable as they boast. - Below average benefits. - No collaboration amongst management. Tons of conflict, redundancies, and confusion throughout organization. Dealing with this place is a full-time, zero-star job in itself. - Insane amount of pointless internal initiatives, meetings, time sucks.

Pros

Supportive team, collaboration within the team

Cons

You never get a raise or promotion, not even annual inflation adjustment. Higher management doesn’t care about you or any other employees. They are only concern about generating more revenue without even appreciating or giving any perks to their employees.
