Thank you for your review, and we appreciate the feedback. Last year was a difficult year across all of the tech industry, but we're very excited for our continued growth in 2024 and expect prospecting pipelines to continue to improve with increased demand for our products. We encourage you to speak with your People Business Partner to address concerns on accountability in leadership and new management, and ways we can continue to build a supportive culture for our Sales team members. Thank you for your continued impact.

Great product, poor management

Pros

Company does a great job in investing in enablement. Offers MBOs, kind of an on top payment for the first 3 quarters. Good tools to work with and run your business

Cons

Extreme poor management, micro-management and back stabbing are in certain regions pretty normal.
