Pros

- Great technology and start-up environment. Friendly people and good atmosphere - Post IPO company while COVID period, strong potential

Cons

- Sales leaders has no technical background much and not a GTM winner. - Different region with same strategy. - No Audit process, lots of fake deals with multi-year but company only ask sales to do. Sales push to partner...so partner eco is terribly bad in some regions. - This is not a service yet, this is still implementing solution after sales, but post sales are very weak..sales leaders not interest tech leading and customer will follow...they asked us following customers, cold calling...it will loose customer love...only pipegen is their favorite interest...how stupid. - HR team is very weak.......no culture

Pros

Great product, strong leadership, and talented people across the organization. Excellent place to learn enterprise SaaS sales and grow quickly as an SDR. Supportive team culture, good training, and a fast-paced environment with many opportunities to work with large global accounts. Strong compensation and career development opportunities for high performers.

Cons

Since the IBM acquisition, there has been uncertainty around the future structure and career path for SDRs. Communication could be more transparent regarding organizational changes, promotion opportunities, and long-term strategy for the SDR organization.
