Lack of Transparency & Politics Everywhere

Pros

- Some of the smartest people in the industry. - Great technology, and solving problems that no other company has solved yet. - Great office locations - Founders and Founding Executive Team

Cons

- Politics have taken over, and the political land grab is everywhere. - Despite a pretty senior leadership team, there is a lack of actual solid management skills across the board. - New executive team has surrounded themselves with "YES" people. - Lack of transparency within organization shuffling, leadership changes, and exits within the company. - No CEO after months of searching... Lack of any meaningful updates.

Be Very Careful!!

Pros

1) The overall product offering is solid. One of the best products in the space. 2) Still not yet, IPO, so opportunity for a quick hit, but first part of options don't vest until after one year of employment.

Cons

1) Some managers were good, other's were not. I had the experience to work with some managers that I would classify as above average, and also had the experience of working with a manager that will probably go down as the worst manager I have worked with in my career. 2) Make sure you know your territory exactly before going in. I was oversold on the opportunity, and the territory I was offered in the interview process, was not what I eventually received. 3) Main focus is on going public, and several of the core people will most likely cash out and move on after IPO. 4) Poor culture-management by fear and realistic expectations. Everyone was so on edge, no one really worked well together. 5) Quotas are completely unrealistic to support the growth management is looking for to go public. Less than 5% of reps in North America made their number when I was there.
