Pros

The product is great and continues to get better. The supporting SE team is top tier.

Cons

A whole lot of favoritism going on both in new hires and promotions. Leadership is clueless to the realities of sellers on the front line. I’m not sure what “culture” people keep referencing to on other posts because there is none, just a lot of people doing CYA work. A lot of managers are completely incompetent and have no clue how to coach or actually support you as a rep, just deal micro management. Leadership twists and turns the meaning of the company ROE to whatever is favorable to them. An all around toxic work environment lead by untrustworthy people. They ran pluralsight into the ground and are now in the process of doing the same thing at Egnyte.

Pros

Great benefits and great people to work with. The product itself is a great and superior product.

Cons

No training. No pipeline. No real support for SMB. You are basically a glorified SDR. Any real leads come from events or if you have good install base accounts. Hardly any good inbounds come and and if you do get a good and decent size inbound, they take it away from you to give to a mid-market rep. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. If you don't mind constantly grinding, go for it. Otherwise, I would recommend looking else where.
