Pros

At first HR and my hiring manager made the company appear as if is the leader in the industry and are growing year over year. I found once I moved from another state and packed my family up to move here that what I was told were lies. I have met great co-workers and keep in touch with previous employees.

Cons

There are many many cons working here. I tried to make the best of it and am currently looking to leave here soon. I have had 4 bosses in a period of 3 years. In fact my whole dept was replaced with me transferring into it just to see it be built up then dismantled again. I currently have no boss as they haven't replaced that person still after many many months. Most jobs don't get replaced after someone leaves or they get filled in 9 months time. Look at the BD and marketing dept which has the highest turnover rate in the company. 2 people try to run it but all they do is run it to the ground, lying to clients, pretending to know what they are doing, kissing the CEO on many levels, working everyone to the point of exhaustion. The ELT is pissed at all the negative reviews on this site and told us to write positive reviews on this site (basically lie on here) and have tried to get many negatives reviews taken down on here. I can't lie about this company. This is the worst company to work for. Sitting in company meetings all week makes my head spin. Nothing gets accomplished when the CEO talks and talks about himself and how he can all do a better job than we all can. He gets involved in sales and client services and constantly puts people down in meetings by pointing out on a PowerPoint presentation that the person left out a period on page 259 or the color on a graphic was blurry. You have been warned not to work here. RUN far away from here. Unless you like to be humiliated, like long hours, like to work on weekends, get hundreds of internal emails everyday from ELT, never see your family, like losing your hair, hardly sleep, cry when Monday comes around, etc.

Pros

The company was a great place to work under the leadership of its founder and CEO. It offered strong products, a positive culture, and exceptional sales leadership. However, after the founder and president departed, the company’s direction and leadership changed significantly, impacting the overall employee experience.

Cons

Since the leadership transition, the focus appears to have shifted away from employees and more toward financial performance and investor perception. The company has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs, while at the same time hiring sales representatives who often seemed underprepared for the role. Much of the enablement function was reduced or eliminated, with an increasing reliance on AI-driven solutions. Leadership within my department was challenging (toxic). There was a noticeable tendency to favor individuals brought in from a previous company, which negatively impacted morale and team dynamics - leadership was clueless . The leadership style often came across as inflexible, with limited openness to alternative perspectives or collaboration. It was a “I know best because I’m so experienced so it should be THIS way” mentality . As a result, cross-functional relationships suffered (sales leaders didn’t respect dept leadership) and there was little partnership with sales leadership to reinforce training and enablement initiatives. One bright spot was the Sales Engineering organization. The team was highly skilled, well-respected, and led by an exceptional leader who fostered a strong culture and delivered real value to the business. Overall, while the company offers solid products and has talented people in certain areas, the culture, leadership decisions, and ongoing organizational instability make it difficult for me to recommend as a long-term career destination.
