Pros

The products solve real world problems. This job is a great for resume experience. Put in your 12- 18 months and move on.

Cons

I left a comfortable six-figure a year SaaS sales job to join Paymentus to double and triple my income. However, management kept changing the direction of where to go with the wind, and I quickly realized only the favorites in sales would have a future here. New sales hires in my group were told that we would receive leads to work which never happened. Marketing was useless in helping sales. Some salespeople did little to nothing and were quickly promoted. Meanwhile, other salespeople who wanted to try new ideas were heavily micromanaged and fired quickly. To better understand why this is, you have sales managers in place that were individual contributors in the 1990s, and they expect you to follow the sales playbook that worked for them which is largely obsolete today. You're provided with a phone and told to start cold-calling, never mind building relationships with partners or consultants. If you wanted additional sales tools, you had to pay for them yourself. That's why most salespeople I worked with kept their heads down and never questioned anything sales management didn't want to hear for fear of being fired.

Pros

Exposure to complex client environments

Cons

Leadership communication can feel dismissive and inconsistently supportive. There are concerns around fairness in how opportunities and expectations are applied, with perceived favoritism in certain areas. Career growth is unclear, with limited visibility into progression paths. Open communication can feel discouraged, which impacts transparency and feedback. The environment can feel siloed, with uneven alignment across teams and at times a competitive or fragmented dynamic rather than consistent collaboration. The role was originally presented as remote, but this changed abruptly to a mandatory in-office requirement with very short notice. This created significant challenges for employees who had been hired under remote expectations or who were not based close to the office. After this change, there was increased emphasis on monitoring in-office attendance (e.g., badge/fob tracking) rather than focusing on output or work quality. This contributed to a perception of surveillance over trust-based performance management. In-office attendance was also perceived to be linked to performance outcomes such as bonuses or job security, which increased pressure during the transition. Escalation and issue resolution processes often felt focused on assigning blame rather than resolving root causes, making it harder to raise issues or get support. Work expectations frequently extended beyond standard working hours, impacting work-life balance and creating an expectation of constant availability.
