Pros

A great introduction to the Tech industry and good exposure for a first job after college. A market leader in the enterprise space. Really great and friendly colleagues who want you to succeed and willing to help. Excellent location. The introduction of more training was also very welcome at the time.

Cons

Extremely high churn at both junior and senior levels (extremely shocking). A number of changes which happens when you grow but unfortunately management have been unable to tackle this and as a result, the morale in the place was not great. It's a real grind with very little opportunity to do well (only a handful of people stick around longer than two years) The place felt very empty at times. Middle management: felt like they were simply taking instructions from the States who dont understand some of the challenges the EU market faces. Aggressive hiring targets but not enough focus on improving and helping staff there (probably should focus on this rather than PR and publicity) No structure, very poor processes, not enough support particularly for those outside of Enterprise. No HR (this should be a big warning sign for those considering joining) Too much Kool-aid: its great to know that the company is doing well on a global level but maybe recognise that on an individual level particularly in EMEA this success isnt seen. Telling people who work there that the company will be as big as other tech giants doesnt act as a motivator! Despite being an survey company I saw no attempt to take on feedback from its most important customers- its employees.

Pros

Free lunch and that’s everything

Cons

* No company vision * Pay is mediocre * Lack of growth opportunities * HR is TRASH! You will not be heard nonetheless * Sales driven, which is fine, but that changes every decision the company makes * Lack of product direction mainly because management sucks!! They cannot even prepare a decent product strategy document for a given FY. They ask the L4-L7 levels to come with product goals that they think are important! As long as you produce a BS concept on AI for your product, you are a star, you don’t have to even deliver it! Success metrics are only for the papers, they don’t care if they’re generating any revenue from it!
