Spiceworks Ziff Davis reviews

The main job of everyone there is to love spiceworks. Constantly brag about how great it is. Not all the leadership is well informed, which is why it is so difficult to get things done correctly or at all. When your boss doesn't know what they are looking for and cannot explain what needs to be accomplished how are you going to know what you are doing? This didnt seem to be a problem as long as everyone was just in love with Spicerex. If they spent more time paying attention to the work and not just the brand, they probably wouldn't have had to layoff so many people. The other glaring issue is how few minorities work there and how hard it is to fit in if you are not a over privileged white person. The parking garage has tons of upscale expensive cars and almost every group of new hires is almost exclusively white. While I know this is Austin and just comes with working in tech in most cases, having a bad manager and not having much in common with coworkers makes for a tense experience.

I've heard this from folks who left the sales team. Some of the quotas don't line up at all with the few remaining good fit accounts here. Just protect yourself knowing that most of the sales come from a few big accounts and you will likely never hit a huge quota unless you get a big kahuna handed to you who is already shelling out mucho dinero! Otherwise, smile and dial to close a bunch of teeny $10,000 deals that rarerly ever renew. Just make sure you start with a tiny quots for the 1st year and you'll be good! After that, you just farm your accounts. No hunting really.
