Strange company

Pros

- Product opens plenty of doors and leads to interesting conversations with great accounts which is great as a rep - Pay quite well - My direct manager was a great person

Cons

- Nobody gets a promotion, stagnant teams with zero path to your next role and this has lead to loads of people leaving - They brought in a churn policy for the sales team and it was pretty crazy. Churn was given at a 1:1 ratio and made the effective number 20% higher - for the size of the company it’s much too bureaucratic and people can hide behind process rather than put their shoulder to the wheel, often putting more work on sales reps shoulders - Not an ounce of fairness across the territory in EMEA, first mover advantage was real and people joining now will be picking up the scraps in terms of accounts to get after, leadership missed an important opportunity to rebalance the accounts fairly - Plenty of good experienced reps are leaving at this moment for above reasons

Pros

great product that is well regarded by customers

Cons

sales leaders simply can't get the gtm function going forward effectively, while the CEO is all over the place, thrashing around, going from 1 idea to the next

Challenging times, but it's not too late

Business Outlook

Pros

- Still a best-in-class product - Exciting product roadmap, and lots of room for growth - Stellar customer base, with tons of potential for expansion - Great people all around

Cons

- Toxic revenue leadership. The CRO has been a catastrophic mishire. He tries to mask his incompetence with faux-confidence. Acting like a tough guy who makes hard decisions, but actually he just screams insecurity and that he's in way over his head. His fire-fast mentality is having disastrous downstream effects on people's productivity and our ability to hire and retain talent. - Lack of career opportunities. There is such a focus on hiring people from the outside with post-IPO experience that the company is no longer providing meaningful career opportunities to people who have been here longer.
