      Pros

      - Highly disruptive technology in a blood thirsty competitive selling environment. - New leadership has financial discipline - market aligned compensation - Well funded

      Cons

      - This was an equity opportunity only if you got in early enough, not a high W2 earnings potential (this is even written in the sales compensation plan with big deal clause language) - Extreme disproportion in quota attainment to quota miss (most miss IE 31/600+ made $500k plus commissions last FY) - market over saturation with quota carrying sales heads and growing - Chaotic GTM with partners and channel, reality distortion between direct, indirect, GSI, etc. - high percentage of first time leaders due to meritocracy based promotion. Kids leading men parroting leaders and quoting each other vice versa, thinking that is good management, constantly managing up not down - rampant male chauvinism, less than 5% female sales force. Even less women in sr. sales leadership roles (1)

      Pros

      innovative company and good benefits. IPO coming soon (everyone hanging on for that reason only)

      Cons

      Not the same environment since Bob left and new management changes all came on-- PLENTY of cronyism. Goes to show you dont need to know how to do the job to get a high position title job, you just need to know the right people. Upper management treats team poorly purely because of their higher standings-- if you want to get verbally abuse everyday, this is the place. Current leadership does not align with the company culture at all. Beware joining, it looks better on the outside than it really is on the inside

      Pros

      Was good before IPO. Why can't they hold onto good people?

      Cons

      Was good before IPO but since then has gone downhill. A lot of bullying culture with management talking about how much money they make off their options and they look down on new employees as though they are servants. Had to leave as it got too much seeing colleagues in tears after getting hammered by a manager who just wanted to remind someone of how much power they had. Product is not great either. Very immature and is embarrassing to see the lack of functionality.
