If you are planning to join the sales team, you will not be set up for success due to the following roadblocks: - The executive leadership team does not communicate to anyone outside of the management bubble; therefore, it will be tough to understand the company’s trajectory and how to communicate any changes to customers. - All departments, especially marketing, are siloed to the point that you’ll be challenged to find any internal resources that are up-to-date. - Decisions are made in a vacuum and not transparent. - Sales operations is basically nonexistent and commissions calculations aren’t clear nor are they shared with reps prior to depositing. - Boys club sales culture that is non-inclusive to anyone outside of that circle. - Sales management is weak and not supportive of the reps. There are also only a few key people at the company (many who have left recently) that have much of the tribal knowledge and are overworked. - QUIET! If you’re joining new, there isn’t much sales camaraderie and the training materials are lackluster. It’ll be really tough to ramp. - Sales cycles are long, so unless you have an existing customer account or are on the commercial sales team, you may not close a new land your first year. All expandable customer accounts are held by a select few reps that joined from tibco. - Although the technology is solid, it is beginning to fall behind key competitors in the space. PM hasn’t been a helpful sales ally either when requesting critical features for customers.

- Transparently opaque with what is going on with the company. Communication is a continual mess with different streams coming from marketing, engineering, the executive team, etc. - High turnover (including layoffs that happened this year). - Understaffed departments. Work more with less. - Company core values are uninspiring and limiting. - Growing pains. - Executive hires are mostly external and rarely internal. - Heads-down culture. - Poor documentation. Tribal knowledge across different departments.
