Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are glad you found our compensation package competitive. We understand that the recent layoffs have been challenging for everyone, and we deeply regret the impact this has had on our employees and their families. This was a difficult decision made after thorough consideration of our current business needs and future goals. While necessary for the long-term health of the company, we recognize the personal and professional toll these decisions can take. Additionally, we are actively working to stabilize and grow our business to create a more secure and positive environment moving forward.

Pros

Good people, product, and work/life balance

Cons

Leadership is generally poor, cycles usually once or twice a year due to layoffs. Compensation is below industry average, and almost no one hits quota. Maybe 10% of the team will hit their number, 40% get within 80% of their number, and the rest fall pretty short. Sales cycles from initial introduction can be up to 1.5years, and C-suite is constantly implementing policies that make it more difficult to sell due to constraints on the sales org or customers.
