New York, NY

Former Employee – worked at NetSuite full-time for more than a year

ProsGood talented people. Smart and mostly invested.

ConsDisjointed, disconnected and many complex layers of management, business units, vertical assignments, etc. A great deal of looking out for one-self culture. Remote employees are on an island-out of sight.

Advice to Senior ManagementMake rules of engagement more clear. Empower the Sales people--not the Sales Engineers. Trust your sales people to make good business decisions. Simplify EVERYTHING. Too many processes for process's sake only.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

San Mateo, CA

Current Employee – been working at NetSuite part-time for more than a year

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep doing what you are doing.

San Mateo, CA

Current Employee – been working at NetSuite full-time for less than a year

ProsThere is definitely the opportunity to "own" your own career here, based on your motivation. Management fosters individuality, yet everyone works very well together. Things are team based, and the people are fun to work with. They often socialize outside of the office and attend out of office events voluntarily. The company is growing, so there are tons of opportunities.

ConsYou have responsibilities, like any job. I wouldn't say it was a "con", but rather, a necessary part of business.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep providing ongoing education and training programs available to staff.

Sacramento, CA

Current Employee – been working at NetSuite full-time for more than a year

ProsGreat coin and great benefits. Definitely rewarded for efforts in terms of monetary compensation as a Senior Account Executive.

ConsDefinitely long hours and tons of travel once you fill your pipeline and get moving at the speed of light. If you blink, all the holidays will start to blur together.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep management within a mentorship mentality and not micro managagement.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Denver, CO

Current Employee – been working at NetSuite

ProsBest enterprise solution for small to medium size business. 15 years I have sold SAP, Oracle and MS. My 30+ NetSuite customers are far more satisfied and willing to be a reference than any customer I have had selling other solutions.

ConsHired young inexperienced sales reps early on who set poor expectations with customers which got NetSuite in hot water 5+ years ago. Some of the inexperienced sales reps have survived and have been promoted into management. Leadership immaturity.

Advice to Senior ManagementTrim the mid management fat. Hire more mature managment that understand strategic sales verse micro managing and throwing out discounts as a way to assist the reps in closing deals.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
