      Unfortunately not very good place to work

      Inside sales representative

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good platform and the CTO Ingo, a great enthusiastic Data Scientist. Have the elements to make its way in the predictive arena to integrate data findings in the business.

      Cons

      CEO Peter Lee + Sales management don't have a clue on their market strategy and pricing of product or differentiator of their community version of the platform, no real structure, no motivation, and sometimes try to intimidate, saying that they wanted unvarnished feedback at all the time but not taking any of it. Very disappointed of company that could be in time a good platform for predictive analysis, but the management do not understand their own product life cycle or the pricing for the different markets. Trying to replicate a failed structure from past company, beware of the OTE and Comp plan as they change to their convenience, and Good Luck!

      In May 2016 we made some organizational changes to reallocate investment in sales and marketing to accelerate product transformation. This was a difficult but necessary decision and I understand why those affected would be rightfully disappointed and critical. However, in the years since RM has consistently grown, been recognized by Gartner and Forrester, and has a high performing sales team that consistently achieves quota.

      Good technology, terrible magement and sales execution

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good technology with Machine Learning, text mining, Hadoop support, lots of algorithms and data prep components. Beware that there are many competitors out there now who propose similar things.

      Cons

      The management have no idea on how to approach the market, build and stick to a coherent sales strategy, build the channel, price the product (the price changes all the time), keep the expenses under control. They recruit and get rid of people across-the-board based on a the latest sales strategy because the previous one failed. I have never seen so many people walk out without giving a notice. Lots of VPs and directors with no one or 1-2 people reporting to them.

      Thanks for the feedback, and you spot on with your observation that we need to stick to a sales strategy. As you know, we had to make some tough decisions in the past 12 months as we evolved our sales model. We've made great progress in all of the areas you identified, but I certainly appreciate that it was a tough transition for many.

      Loved it

      Customer success manager

      Business outlook

      Pros

      The product is unbelievably good and improving all the time thanks to a strong development team that keeps their ears open to the users and internal feedback. Very relaxed working environment; management values a healthy work-life balance. Good opportunities for professional growth - this was my first job out of college and was promoted within a year.

      Cons

      Small company with multiple offices overseas and relatively small HQ headcount. There's been an ongoing struggle between keeping the open-source user community happy and monetizing the product - this balance has yet to be perfected and has been the impetus for significant changes in the past.

      Thanks for your feedback and dedication to the success of our customers. Your comment about education for new users is spot on. We have recently opened up our workshop program to more users, but there's more we can do here.
