Dying Culture, Never Paid AEs Fairly
Pros
Genuinely the best teammates that I have ever worked with. We all had each others back, especially when management did not. At its peak, this company's culture was one where I loved going into work and selling this product.
Cons
Culture deteriorated once new C-Level management was brought in. The way our former CRO was suddenly demoted after years of injecting confidence in sales reps and WINNING should have been a red flag for where the company eventually is now - 350 people laid off. Just last summer the company opened an office which grew to 20+ employees. Now? Poof. Gone. The core values, including transparency, were preached weekly at All Hands Meetings. The layoffs were announced in the least transparent way possible, and my gut tells me that this was not the end of it. Even at SKO, our new CRO swerved around how commission would be re-structured. One last thing for anybody thinking of joining the sales team here. Ask how commission is paid out. If it does not immediately make sense, then that should be a red flag (as many people have written in reviews). You won't make money here. Go somewhere else that will value and maximize your talent.
