Business Outlook

Pros

Successful company, industry leading solutions and well respected in market place Easy place for reps compared to other tech companies (even if under performing) New execs are turning the tanker and making some necessary changes

Cons

Those new execs, whilst having to make tough (if hasty) decisions are having a negative impact on employee morale Layoffs becoming the norm whereas previously very rare (more in the last 1 year than in my previous 10+ years) Some good skills/experience being let go Stress from regional/country leadership is transmitting downwards Speaking to somebody who was laid off, they weren't particularly sorry given the culture changes - not even a thanks and best wishes from senior management For non sales people the culture used to compensate for below market wages, that is eroding and resentment is impacting the collaboration that reps used to enjoy

Pros

- People-first culture. Collaboration, respect, and inclusivity are deeply embedded in the work environment. Leaders genuinely care about employee well‑being. - Empowered to grow. Plenty of opportunities for development — leadership programs, learning platforms, mentorship, and stretch assignments that help build new skills. - Supportive management. Managers are approachable, empathetic, and invested in your success. Feedback culture is strong and constructive. - Global exposure. You get to work with colleagues and leaders across different regions, which broadens your experience and strengthens cross‑cultural skills. - Great work-life balance for most roles. While busy, the workload is manageable and you feel supported during peak periods.

Cons

- Fast-paced environment. Things move quickly, which can be overwhelming at times — but it also means there are many opportunities to learn and contribute. - Some processes can still be improved. Because the company is growing, certain workflows or systems are still evolving. The good thing is leadership is open to feedback. - Cross-regional coordination may be challenging. Working with global teams means navigating time zone differences, but it also builds strong communication skills and global awareness.
