Pros

Good office location. Modern corporate tech stack provided upon onboarding (new laptop and phone).

Cons

Zero Organisation or Structure: For a company of this scale, the internal systems are an absolute mess. Severe Favoritism & Cultural Cliques: Management is highly biased. In the office, clear clusters of specific nationalities (such as Russian and Israeli speakers) form exclusionary bubbles. Managers within those remits actively protect, promote, and hand leads to their own, completely ignoring standard territory boundaries. Unstable AE Alignment & Target Impact: Your ability to hit target relies entirely on Account Executive (AE) stability and partner channel access. AEs leave every single quarter without being replaced, leaving your patch scattered. Furthermore, partner relationships are gatekept—some people are arbitrarily allowed to leverage them to hit quota while others are completely blocked, and management provides no support when your numbers suffer as a result. Poor Office Maintenance: Despite having constant maintenance staff on-site, essential facilities like the air conditioning rarely work properly. Terrible Pay.

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
