Pros

Decent wellness program , modern , well decorated office in Singapore.

Cons

The reasons that Asia sales management fail fall into four categories: 1. Direction. Poor understanding of the cloud business in Asia, leading to errors in vision and strategy. 2. Talent. Inability to pick and keep the right people for the team. 3. Execution. Manage people badly, promotion is based on preference not performance. 4. No trust to the team and micromanage , senior sales management initiated 10 by10 exercise which require sales to manually key in activities they do everyday.

Pros

There is a strong concentration of talented people who bring valuable external experience and perspective to the company. Compensation and benefits — including time off — are competitive. Work‑life balance is reasonable in some areas, but if you’re not based in San Francisco, you often have to advocate for it more actively.

Cons

The company operates with a level of indecision that makes long‑term planning nearly impossible. Role creation shouldn’t be treated as a short‑term experiment, yet decisions are made and reversed quickly. In several areas, the degree of micromanagement is counterproductive — you can’t hire strong talent and then prevent them from actually using their capabilities. Whether the root cause is insecurity or lack of competence, the outcome is the same: people aren’t empowered to do the work they were brought in to do, and it’s a real organizational issue.
