- Much of the marketing team that existed during my time at the company may no longer be working at Array so prospective employees should understand the team dynamic may look very different moving forward.
- Significant lack of alignment at the senior leadership level, which creates constant priority shifts, unnecessary stress, and reactive decision-making.
- Extremely high turnover across leadership teams. In just over 2 years, the company went through more than 9 sales leaders.
- Many decisions feel driven by short-term pressure rather than long-term strategy, leading to constant fire drills, last-minute pivots, and changing direction week to week.
- Culture changed substantially over the last year due to turnover and leadership changes, and the company feels very different from what it was previously.
- Company approach to pipeline ownership and attribution encourages competition and creates an “every team for themselves” environment.
- Sales employee performance can feel overly ranking-focused and demoralizing rather than developmental, instilling fear in team members
- In my experience, the people team provides very little meaningful support to employees. Workplace concerns and interpersonal issues are often not addressed in a productive way.
- Promotion policies feel overly rigid. Employees are generally required to stay in-role for at least 1 year before promotion consideration, and management responsibilities do not always translate into manager-level title progression or compensation.
- Very lean operational support relative to company size and expectations. For a sales organization of roughly 70 people and a marketing team of 9, there was only 2 dedicated RevOps positions
- Aggressive growth goals are set, but teams are often expected to achieve them without additional resources. In many cases, resources were reduced instead of expanded.
- Leadership involvement (CEO and CFO) extends deeply into day-to-day operations, from sales call reviews to approvals for software purchases and hiring decisions, which can slow execution.
- Excessive internal process and meetings create additional overhead. Weekly call reviews for sales positions and monthly employee performance reviews are highly time-consuming and often feel administrative rather than impactful.
- Very little sense of job security, even for high performers, due to frequent restructuring and ongoing organizational changes.
-Compensation growth did not consistently match increases in workload or responsibility. Promotions came with minimal increases, and employees were frequently expected to absorb additional work without meaningful compensation changes.
