Thank you for taking time to provide your feedback. We are proud of the critical role our best-in-class sales teams play in providing global customers solutions in planning and decision making. Likewise, our partner ecosystem is strategy-led, with major global consulting firms such as Accenture, Deloitte and McKinsey investing in our long-term growth to deliver increasing value to large, multinational organizations. The progress in our Go to Market strategy, along with so many other improvements to the company, helped deliver a bonus pool well in excess of 100% -- our pay-for-performance model is thriving, and those making the most significant contributions are being rewarded. Our teams are encouraged to live our Values every day. Transparency, empathy and authenticity are among them – please don’t hesitate to speak with your manager or HRBP if you have input they could help address. - Carey Pellock, CPO

Pros

One thing I genuinely appreciated was that the C-suite seemed invested in keeping everyone in the loop. The monthly town halls felt like more than just a formality and gave you a real sense of where the company was headed. When you had a good stretch, people noticed. The company feels like it has real momentum and on a macro level.

Cons

Leadership was inconsistent in my experience and seemed to depend heavily on which manager you ended up with. It often felt like luck of the draw. I personally found the planning process to be more reactive than strategic, with urgency only kicking in once results were already suffering rather than getting ahead of it. The workplace culture also had a gossip element that I found draining over time. My biggest frustration was around performance recognition. I observed situations where reported numbers didn't seem to reflect reality, yet the consequences appeared minimal at best. I would have liked to see more transparency and accountability around how top performers were identified and rewarded, because in my experience the current approach didn't always feel equitable to those who were playing by the rules.
