Pros

They do have products that could do well. That's it.

Cons

- The products that could do well don't and will not due to terrible management. - Instead of laying people off because they have such dissatisfied customers and their money is gone, they have laid out the newest initiative for company morale... giving their employees 30 day performance plans like they are candy and firing people before they are even over. You heard that right, 30 day PIPs. Instead of growing your employees you are putting the blame on them and telling them "just do better". The real kicker is the PIPS have unrealistic metrics (20+ opps in 30 days??) or metrics that they just decided to throw in there the next week. My favorite is "gave the entire team a request to close/won 1-3 opps by Oct 12" (I see you) that wasn't on the original PIP! Just a request they threw out there to make it look like they had a reason to fire someone that they've had a target on for months. - They took away remote work for anyone within 50 miles of an office. When you get to the office you're going to working with your team online still though... smart. - They say there is no caps to commission. That's a lie. There are months you bring in deals and get a lovely $0 commission. - Extremely rare for them to attend trade shows. The majority of 2023 were canceled because there's no budget. The list just keeps growing. It's extremely sad how downhill this company has gone.

Pros

The company was a great place to work under the leadership of its founder and CEO. It offered strong products, a positive culture, and exceptional sales leadership. However, after the founder and president departed, the company’s direction and leadership changed significantly, impacting the overall employee experience.

Cons

Since the leadership transition, the focus appears to have shifted away from employees and more toward financial performance and investor perception. The company has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs, while at the same time hiring sales representatives who often seemed underprepared for the role. Much of the enablement function was reduced or eliminated, with an increasing reliance on AI-driven solutions. Leadership within my department was challenging (toxic). There was a noticeable tendency to favor individuals brought in from a previous company, which negatively impacted morale and team dynamics - leadership was clueless . The leadership style often came across as inflexible, with limited openness to alternative perspectives or collaboration. It was a “I know best because I’m so experienced so it should be THIS way” mentality . As a result, cross-functional relationships suffered (sales leaders didn’t respect dept leadership) and there was little partnership with sales leadership to reinforce training and enablement initiatives. One bright spot was the Sales Engineering organization. The team was highly skilled, well-respected, and led by an exceptional leader who fostered a strong culture and delivered real value to the business. Overall, while the company offers solid products and has talented people in certain areas, the culture, leadership decisions, and ongoing organizational instability make it difficult for me to recommend as a long-term career destination.
