Pros

Snacks, Benefits are decent, Clean office

Cons

My experience here was a joke to say the least. We're told that the first 3 months are your "ramp" months and you're not expected to hit quota nor are you set to one. After ramp, like any other sales job, you're expected to meet quota. I was let go one month after ramp for not hit quota. HR specifically said "Not meeting performance expectations." Depending on who your manager is, you'll be lied to...I was told I would be ok since it was my first month out of ramp but that wasn't the reality. There are no "set KPIs" when it comes to phone calls, emails, and LinkedIn...however, if you're not hitting 100 dials a day it's frowned upon. And don't even get your hopes up about being promoted. Even if you mark off all the check boxes to earn a promotions, they'll find a way to say that you're not ready or don't bring enough value...which is why certain people have left. And the Commercial Sales Rep is the next step from SDR...good luck hitting quota there because over half of the current ones aren't and are also on their way out via PIP. Overall, Varonis is just another "Churn & Burn" sales organization. with no room for growth and no organization. There's plenty of better opportunities out there. Save yourself the trouble.

Pros

Benefits are great, random gifts throughout the year, top notch team support

Cons

Company is so compartmentalized no one team has any idea of what is going on with another, which is specifically frustrating when it comes to pay/commission. They keep purchasing other companies without properly integrating into the existing product and have to basically re-invent how to use the full potential of said product to interact with what they already have, leaving a lot to be desired. Hiring new positions with specific goals in mind, but have the same title so are treated the same when it comes to OTE creating a substantial pay cut. Especially when they are brought in to make certain parts of the team and product better.
