5 stars if you enjoy working for bureaucratic tech giant

Sr. csm

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is seemingly unmatched.

Cons

Working at this bureaucratic tech giant is frustrating. Bureaucracy creates unnecessary hurdles, and constant evaluations/tests (like so many... why so many... VMT, OAR, surveys, 360 reviews, certifications that need to be renewed every couple of years... let's focus on the customer more and less on employee busy work) add to the pressure. Sales reps treat their internal counterparts like trash, making things even worse.

Poor leadership at every level and toxic work life balance

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Leadership is so unorganized on a office use policy, that you can work from anywhere whenever

Cons

No one in a leadership role is fit for it. All leadership comes from internal promotions after years of caos scaling to this size. CEO openly talks about how work life balance should be 80-20 in the companies favor. Then layoffs 500 people every year.
