Life at Blackduck - Manager Black Duck Software Employee Review

CSM management is very good

Working out kinks as stand alone company

*Good people. *Smart people. *Good product.

*Black Duck is a mess. *People are in survival mode. *Morale is low. *Pay is low compared to the industry. *Private equity just let the CEO and CRO go and as a result they've installed their own CEO and CRO. Who by the way are odd with no personalities. Very awkward and robotic. *It has become a very cut throat environment. *They are laying off across the board, especially in sales and it you're not laid off, they have begun to put people on PIPs. *Inbound leads are scarce. *Not much of a channel program to speak of. *Sales folks are required to quote/sell implementation services without quota relief and only partial commission pay. *Some leadership at the director level are just not polished and frankly are bizarre. *This place is a mess. Lots of employee turnover, lay offs and lots of customer turnover. Retention is horrible. *STAY AWAY.
