Pros

Great scientists and engineers to work with.

Cons

1 many executives change that totally destroyed the culture. V 2 pay is probably the lowest in the industry and always penny picking on the employees. 3 executive team view sales team as number on a chart 4 added tremendous amount of admin through sales process for micro-monitoring. The amount of the admin, requirements for updating sales force is suffocating. They monitor and look at the sales force information all the time and call you all the time asking you to update it immediately. 5 management is a mess and poor support for sales, they push things down to sales because you have to face customers. 6 fiscal year follows calendar year but you’ll never get your annual sales goal in Q1, mostly late Q2, or even in Q3.

Pros

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
