Just look on Guru

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Very clear and defined process. Anything you may need can be found online on Guru. Female CEO. Ok-ish benefits. Bribed with gift cards.

Cons

Tons of middle management that won't support you; but who needs management when you can just look at Guru. Sales team is a complete boys club and will promote based on favoritism. Unsure about the larger organization but sales is a revolving door. Always putting people on PIP, bribing people to leave with low severance packages, and constantly interviewing for the always available vacant positions. Sales managers applaud reps for working weekends, holidays, after hours, etc. Will not disclose during interview process that you will be asked to cover the team during holidays. Ask you to pick up leads/deals during off hours and get zero commission split. HR seems to be clueless and make it clear they are there to support the company not the employees and openly side with leadership on any concerns regardless if they have heard your side of things. Constant changes in company direction, culture, product, etc. Wages on the lower side of industry standards. If you do even make your commission, the company always find a way to make sure you don't get your full OTE. WPE must have a referral program with Amazon because WPE is so quick to throw Amazon gift cards your way instead of giving you a raise. Amazon gift cards for everyone!
