Pros

Great benefits from the company. Love the sabbatical after working there for 4 years.

Cons

I found during my interview process people were less than honest about the day to day. Sales jobs here are not really sales. You live in spreadsheets and have to have an exact forecast meaning even things that you're trying to bring in count and if they don't come in there is hell to pay. Your number is based on renewals at 85 to 90% along with price increases which makes it almost impossible to get to 100%. If you are thinking of coming here ask lots of questions specifically about how forecasting is done and if you manager understands selling or just gives you corp speak about the importance of forecasting since they are comped on how well you forecast.

Pros

The general employee population is friendly and professional. Talented and capable people work across all departments with very few exceptions. The products are truly impressive and deliver exceptional value. Work-life balance is a genuine strength, with good remote work options. Compensation and benefits are competitive in the industry.

Cons

Management quality is inconsistent across the organization. Leadership development programs are limited to sales org only, which shows in how the company operates. Areas that suffer: hiring and promotion decisions, limited innovation capacity, lack of ambitious goals. The recent layoff process raised concerns when some valuable team members were let go with severance packages that didn't fully reflect their contributions or tenure. Communications about company values felt disconnected from actual implementation during the layoff.
