Pros

I enjoyed working for Renaissance for five years. Excellent product. Sales culture was positive until the end of 2020 beginning of 2021.

Cons

Pay inequity was severe. Transparency into how sales was commissioned was extremely low. When new CRO took over the culture shifted from one of trust and equity to one of mistrust and inequity. It was tough to get approval in a timely fashion because the CRO had final input on everything. I was extremely successful every year and was compensated less with higher goals the following year.

Pros

Some of the most amazing people you’ll ever work with. Generally supportive peers. Leaders are kind and not intentionally toxic. Strong brand recognition and a variety of solutions to enable solution selling.

Cons

The culture of the organization seems to have succumbed to the broader climate surrounding politics and education. Immense pressure is placed on sales team to deliver in saturated territories with beyond unachievable quotas for some and cake quotas for others. No cost of living increases, lots of layoffs and unclear path for growth with an egregious lack of transparency from leadership about the glaring issues. NONE of this seems intentional or malicious-it just seems like a lot of behaviors caused by extreme desperation.
