Pros

Good technology Sharp/smart engineering talent Talented execs Decent field engineering Decent base comp

Cons

Very high, unrealistic sales quotas Sales comp plan geared to NOT pay out at-plan commissions for the majority and permits very few to exceed plans; Most sales reps earn less than OTE. More sales reps hired than needed to cover territory. Lack of transparency in quota setting process/basis. Middle Management hired as yes-men to manage upwards. Not many non-male managers in the sales teams.

Pros

- great people - amazing product that sells itself once people get their hands on it - innovative company - decent ote and benefits

Cons

- comp plan this year for hunters is not aligned with company strategy of focusing on larger, multi-year commits. it incentivizes quantity of deals vs. quality of deals, and payouts on commit $$$ are peanuts.
