Pros

Remote work, which won't exist in a year from now.

Cons

Since the introduction of new executive leadership, morale across the Sales and BDR organizations has declined significantly, and quota attainment has become the exception rather than the norm. A contributing factor has been the current CRO, under whose leadership previously effective processes were dismantled and continuity was disrupted. Because all Sales and BDR roles ultimately report into this structure, new hires are impacted immediately, with no practical insulation from broader leadership and cultural issues. At the executive level, Sales, Growth, and Revenue leadership lack alignment and direction. Decision making is inconsistent, favoritism is apparent, and there is no clear strategy for effectively supporting or scaling the sales team. The result is constant confusion, poor execution, and widespread burnout. Compensation remains below market relative to expectations, OTE attainment is limited to a small minority, and the product’s non-essential positioning makes earnings inconsistent. Based on observed attrition and behavior, nearly the entire corporate sales team is actively exploring new opportunities, reflecting broader issues with morale, trust, and retention. The CEO appears capable and well intentioned; however, the current go-to-market leadership approach has resulted in poor execution, reduced accountability, and widespread disengagement. Candidates should carefully evaluate these systemic risks before considering a Sales or BDR role.

Pros

Serious about its strategic future and making big bets to adapt, realize opportunities and grow significantly in serving regulated markets. Huge opportunity as AI impacts legacy and traditional software companies, Foley service, operations and highly aligned and competent leadership team and employees pivoting to drive real and growing value. Amazing business model, great market and positioned for serious technical and market growth. With new technology and access, career opportunities look like they are going to expand, amazing place to learn about and put AI technology into practice

Pros

My immediate team was kind, thoughtful, smart, and supportive.

Cons

Foley is a legacy services company that attempted to transition to a SaaS product, and then to an AI product. Unfortunately, the right leadership was not in place, change management best practices were nowhere to be found, and “AI first” turned into “AI is more trusted than employees.” Over the span of one year, senior employees had their well-documented concerns ignored, and Foley began to lose momentum. Rather than checking in with experts on the product, CS, marketing, or sales team, they simply added more executive leadership and created a culture of fear. While that was happening, the software engineering stalled, pricing changes caused customer confusion, the website domain lost all authority, sales missed every target, and budgets were slashed. Attempts to open a secondary office failed, and more than 25 people have been laid off (while others quit without backfill). Executives claim that this is a “restructuring” but Foley is not a safe place to work. Everyone is working only for themselves, afraid of losing their job in a difficult market. The corporate value of “teammateship” is now a joke for anyone who has worked there longer than a month. When you leave a company it is a bad sign if everyone you talk to says “take me with you.” TLDR: Don’t work for Foley. (I wrote this without the use of any generative AI.)
