Pros

Great colleagues, an emphatic HR team, and nice extra-curricular activities. Useful niche product with a dedicated engineering team behind it.

Cons

Management doesn't want the sales team to earn commission. As soon as a salesperson hits his/her targets, the targets are upgraded. Company is driven by engineering departments -- the sales team feels as an outsourced add-on. Interests of sales team are not taken into account, and the sales director does not fight for his team's interests. Salaries of sales colleagues are kept far below market average.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased to hear that you think we have good people – we are proud of the team too! It is standard practice for Sales teams to have targets and that they are adjusted each year to align with the Company growth targets. We do look to reward our Sales team with our commission packages, leaving them uncapped to enable people to exceed their OTE. We have provided recent training for our GTM functions and understand from some of the feedback that they have found this valuable. We undertake salary benchmarking annually and the comparative data we’ve collected supports that we pay employees fairly. We also continue to review our benefits and consistently find we have a competitive package. Thanks for your feedback on the company policies, we will review this internally.

Pros

Small business vibes, good people to work with.

Cons

Lifestyle business trying to compete in the Enterprise space. Complicated, difficult to use and deploy Remote Support product in a very crowded market. No real understand of the market they are in, and very behind in terms of technological advancement.
