Too little, too late

Pros

Amazing technology and support team. Benefits (especially healthcare) are great, and the fast paced StartUp environment is incredible. The sales teams are hard working and go the extra distance to ensure they make it happen, as long as they get the support they need from HQ.

Cons

Upper Management seems to be very HQ centric. They believe that their software is perfect, and it should sell itself. A 'trained monkey could sell FVP" was overheard once. There is no value placed on the sales organization, and unrealistic expectations and quotas are enforced from the top. Management doesn't value the field team (AEs or SEs) opinions and it shows. Your field teams have their pulse on the community, and know what needs to be done to achieve success. Unfortunately, it falls on deaf ears.

Immature management and product hamper

Pros

Gotten some early awards in the industry and prominence at tradeshows and online. When product works as advertised, it solves a challenge for some customers. Boyband-like techie following.

Cons

Management is inexperienced and it shows. They do not understand the actual market that sales teams have to execute within. A considerable % of the sales team does not meet or exceed quotas - not their fault as they are talented. Sales team turnover is approaching 100% for first two years. Recent layoffs cut staffing to the bone while the external message seems to tell a different story - customers and partners see through the spin. Technology and product management have an arrogance problem - see issues as a sales problem vs. any bug issues, or general market perceptions. If you aren't in product dev, or at hq you are a nobody. Be more inclusive of the teams where the product actually interfaces with customers.

Pros

The technology was rock solid and solved customers problems. Employees were the strength of this company who performed exceptionally in a disorganized environment.

Cons

The management did to have a clue regarding communication, was disorganized, and did not understand the market they played in.
