Pros

- product is transformational - pay on paper is above market - product and engineering are top

Cons

- our sales leadership doesn't understand how to sell a complicated tech product. the company has spread out into so many different directions that its become very difficult to sell and prospects just don't get it - pay on paper is above market but it is nearly impossible to even scratch quota - sales leaders seem to be all leaving right now - ICs are very overworked with loose promises of increasing hiring. Being booked with meetings all day is normalized and encouraged - "Bro" culture where ICs who fit into the culture are given a much longer leash even when they aren't qualified for this role - Many ICs are new and aren't technical enough to know how to sell Harness - Its really a pity because the tech is so good, but something doesn't seem to be working

Pros

- Great product; differentiated in the market and impressive to customers - strong founder with proven exit -large addressable market to sell to across all sizes of companies - established large customers and references - High OTE's for sales reps - talented team in most departments

Cons

- Product confusion; continuing to release new products instead of improving existing ones. Sales team is confused on what to sell and if any of the new products actually work - Sales leadership; continued forecast misses, continued confusion on GTM model, continued yelling at the PG scoreboard every week without any solutions; big changes are needed - Extremely high churn in the sales rep and first level leader levels; most don't make it 9 months

Pros

“Some” people are nice! Nothing else is good about this place! They lie! They over promise and under deliver! They changed a DocuSign after both parties signed it to their benefit! Like who does that?!!!!

Cons

The worst place I ever worked at! Run as far away from this place as you can! Save your sanity!
