Pros

-There are some very nice people working at Plexus however there is a weird atmosphere in office due to management. -They have had some very big name clients in the past, which is enticing in the interview process but you quickly realise that sales has been failing for years.

Cons

- Unattainable targets - Never saw a rep get over 50% of target. - It is rare to see a deal close. - Crazy turnover rate - Someone leaves (often senior) about once a week. - Terrible, messy commission structure. . CRO has a very micromanagement approach, really not a very nice person to work with/for. -There is no doubt that today there are better, cheaper products in the market. - CEO is intelligent but is very often not around, hard to believe he is fully committed to the company. - OTE far below standard. *I would be wary of positive reviews as HR messages current employees asking them to leave good reviews.*

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your time at Plexus did not meet your expectations. Feedback like this, while difficult to read, is important, and we take it seriously as we continuously work to improve the experience for our team. We know that working in a scale up environment isn’t the right fit for everyone. That said, your feedback around support, leadership, and targets has been heard and acknowledged. We’ve made some meaningful changes across the sales team this year, including improved onboarding, clearer commission structures, and increased enablement. We’re continuing to listen and iterate. We’d also like to respectfully address a couple of points directly. We invite our team members if they’d like to leave a review on Glassdoor- however, it is entirely optional. The intent is to invite honest, balanced feedback to ensure a range of experiences are visible and not just those shared after someone’s exit. Regarding our CEO and CRO, both are deeply committed to Plexus’s success and who are actively working with the leadership team to drive clarity, strengthen communication and build a high-performing, values-led environment. We understand this review reflects one experience, and we respect that. We’re equally grateful for the many current and former team members who’ve shared different perspectives and who continue to help shape our culture for the better. If you're open to sharing more feedback directly, we'd welcome the opportunity to learn from your experience. Please reach out to our People & Culture team.

Pros

The CEO is a genuine leader and the culture he's built reflects that. He gives his time generously, especially during ramp, and trusts you to operate autonomously — which is rarer than it should be. I've reported directly into multiple C-Suite over the last 6 years, some really good ones, but reporting into one that actually gets and understands sales is extremely refreshing. The culture is in a rebuild phase and the calibre of people coming through the door is excellent. You can feel the lift across every team. Work-life balance is real here. This is the first holiday in ten years where I haven't been contacted by leadership while I was off. That tells you everything you need to know about how the leadership team thinks about their people. Flexible working environment that actually works in practice, not just on paper. Easily one of the most internally sophisticated companies I've worked at when it comes to AI. They're leaning in properly — not the surface-level AI-washing you see almost everywhere else. Ramp expectations are fair, the strategic direction is clear, and you're given the runway and autonomy to actually execute against it. For the right candidates, the sales team is sitting on a huge opportunity right now.

Cons

none so far - which is nice
