Pros

Some genuinely nice people work there

Cons

Leadership: Lack of experience, vision, and strategic direction from the CEO. This creates a culture of uncertainty and frustration, with employees feeling constantly in the dark about the company's direction. Management: Concerns about the qualifications and effectiveness of the CPO, leading to a general lack of trust, integrity, and empathy towards employees. Difficulty communicating effectively and working collaboratively with teams. Culture: Promotions and pay raises based on personal connections rather than performance merit. Company values seem more like statements than guiding principles. Questioning business decisions usually leads to termination!! High Turnover: Consistent feedback from leavers is this is one of the worst companies they've worked for. Not recommended unless you have extreme tolerance for a toxic work environment.

Pros

Telana's on a serious upward trajectory — exciting new customers coming on board and a leadership team that knows where it's going. Proper autonomy and plenty of scope to grow — you're trusted to run with things yourself. Smart, down-to-earth people. Sociable and supportive — easy to feel part of from day one.

Cons

No concerns, I could not recommend Telana enough

Pros

Hybrid working Little pressure from upper management and no micromanagement Lots of great, talented people Supportive culture

Cons

Just not a strong player in the partner world of Google and Microsoft. Reps often scrap hard to find opportunities with customers to take to the vendor, but this rarely happens the other way around. Targets are super unrealistic, therefore reps earn way below their OTE
