Pros

Highlighted here already, it's a pretty good place for juniors to get enough experience and then head to more mature and better paying companies afterwards.

Cons

There's not much to say besides the rest of the realistic reviews here. Most of the 5 star reviews are from first-week employees encouraged to write a good review and tell how cool is this place. It is not. It's pretty obvious what reviews are natural and realistic, as they're triggering the Head of people to respond and tell how they're looking into the issue. So much looking into the actual problems, that nothing has changed over the year (compare reviews from a few years ago versus newer ones and you'll see that people still complain about the exact same issues). And nothing would suggest things are getting any better. Responding to reviews with the same old BS, is only making it even worse. A pretty good place to work overall, but a disappointing employer nevertheless.

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
