Pros

Steelwedge was a great place to learn. Now there is no scope at all for leanings. Golden days are gone.

Cons

No hikes. No job security. No strong roadmap or vision. No new big logos from past 2+ years. Bad CEO with group of incapable sales team. CEO invested lot of money on marketing and sales teams but no use. Funds have been diverted to incapable teams who struggling a lot to get at least new big logo from many years. CEO, Marketing and Sales teams should stop blaming the product. Many of our competitors are doing excellent sales with what they have. Senior management always takes care of only top 20 talent. No job safety and respect if you are not in top talent pool Million Tons of confusion/doubts about company’s growth and job security. Many teams worked throughout the year (no holidays, weekends…. ). But no salary hikes. Very very bad…. HR team is fit for nothing. HR head is very good in rolling out layoffs. This team is super good in conducting meaningless meetings and chocolates distribution for top 20. Nothing for average and above average employees.

We appreciate your feedback that Steelwedge is a great place to learn. We have made huge investments in re-engineering our product platform. Recent big logo wins and existing customers deciding to upgrade to our latest product platform is great validation that we are moving in the right direction. We feel our top talent plays a key role in driving our success and we are aware that our face-paced environment is not the best fit for everyone.

Pros

- A visionary executive team that has a long-term view for the company - Best of breed product - Gartner recognized and appreciated by industry (especially clients) - Great support ecosystem - from a sales guy's point of view the support given by legal, finance and operations is tremendous - After a little turbulence (which is natural after a shakeup), the company has stabilized and there is a sense of purpose. Probably also explains some of the negative reviews :) - Healthy pipeline - as a sales guy am spending more time qualifying deals and figuring out which ones to pursue, rather than having to generate them - Processes are not burdensome - I have seen companies where process becomes a huge overhead. So far I have derived value from the lean processes followed in sales

Cons

- Product portfolio is rapidly changing - need to keep up with changes - Competitors are large and have deep pockets. That renders some deals 'un-win-able' as competitors bundle up SCM products with ERP products and offer deep discounts

Pros

The company has a history of innovation that rewards people willing to do what it takes to create market breakthroughs. Already recognized by Gartner as a leader in Sales & Operations Planning, the company launched its next-generation planning platform in October 2015, powered by the same Silicon Valley technologies that underlie high performance platforms such as Google, LinkedIn and Facebook, to turbo charge planning speed and scale. While the company is putting processes and people in place to manage its transition from an "S&OP only" company to a company driving broad planning innovation, management is inclusive in involving people at all levels of the organization in this transformation. This is a place for people who want to immerse themselves in a meaningful endeavor, not a place for people who just want a "steady job."

Cons

Some employees holding on to "the way we used to do things" can create negative vibes. New talent coming in can rally support, but there is the need to address those resistant to evolving along with the company. The company solves strategically important problems for market-leading companies, so sales cycles can be long (although this is the case in many companies selling enterprise solutions.)

Your review is thoughtful and much appreciated. We are working diligently to think outside of the box in terms of process, so we can achieve greatness, transitioning away from the "the way we used to do things" mindset.
