Pros

We have a lot of fun on the company dime

Cons

I've never made less $ as a sales rep in over 10yrs even though I grew my customer over 100% YoY growth. DO NOT GO TO WORK FOR A BUNCH OF TECHNOLOGIST. THEY DON'T VALUE SALES PEOPLE AND DON'T WANT TO PAY THEM WELL !!! CEO is greedy!

Pros

Great product. Momentum in the market.

Cons

The management comp plan is based on 70% actual Consumption vs. 30% for new commit sales or Upgrades. It is very difficult to over-achieve. We spend 85% of our team working on Commit deals but it has very little effect on your earnings.
