Pros
- Mature products, proven scalability, deep domain expertise and dominant in the Enterprise space.
- Fast paced, moves faster and more aggressively than supposedly nimble startups.
- Good brand and reputation, customers genuinely like and value the solutions.
- Great benefits - 401k matching; medical plans with broader coverage and low out-of-pocket cost; unlimited time off policy.
- Rapid growth means lots of opportunities to grow a career by taking over new responsibilities or move to another area.Cons
- Not for the faint of heart. Rapid execution means constant adjustments and operating under uncertainty, making decisions quickly and acting on them immediately. If you like to plan in detail your every move months in advance, CallidusCloud is going to feel like a tornado to you.
- It is a work hard, play hard kind of place. If you want a relaxing and easy gig and cruising in your job, this is not your place.Advice to Management
Maintain your culture, preserve sense of urgency, continue international expansion.

Pros
Many of the people you will work with are good to excellent at what they do.
Cons
You may find the work-life balance to be lacking if you are a high achiever.
Advice to Management
Obviously this is a time where much will be changing in the future, but hopefully that will include more hands on deck to share the workload when things get stressful for those on the front lines delivering for the clients.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at CallidusCloud full-time
Pros
Donuts and bagels.
A handful of equally bright and emotionally intelligent people. The rest are condescending and unprofessional.Cons
Every company has its fair share of bad apples (managers as well as employees) so we're not here to talk about that. We're talking about the surprisingly old school, hierarchical, and political environment at Callidus. It's bad for business to be as hierarchical as they are at this size, specifically in the Bay Area. Some of their leaders are unqualified, entitled prima donna's - it's quite comical! It's clear that people/talent is not Callidus' top priority, which means they do not stand a chance in the Bay Area. Most teams are led by fear and that's sad to say in 2018. If you're looking for a place for autonomy, transparency, and impact, this is not the place for you.
Advice to Management
None, since they are known for rejecting feedback.

Pros
This is truly an amazing company, and an unknown gem in the software business. I have been selling application software for over 30 years, and have never made more money or had more fun. The portfolio is powerful stuff that adds real value to sales and the selling process. Impactful stuff that you don't get with CRM. It's also fun to open the eyes of VP of Sales, Sales Ops and even Finance on what we can bring to their business. Great comp plan. I can guarantee that few in industry are making the money you can make here. This company rewards success 10X over other places I have been. Executive management is stellar.
Cons
Not many. Can be demanding and you have to be a self-starter. You also need to understand a mature sales process to work well here.

Pros
Entrepreneurs often share horror stories of counting down the calendar post acquisition. This is NOT one of those stories. As a founder, I feel challenged, appreciated and rewarded on a daily basis. I now spend more time on product and sales - the two things that I personally find most rewarding
I regularly discuss with my founder firends how lucky my team and I are to have been acquired by this company. I have made many introductions to a few founders to the Corp Dev team and I wanted to document why
* It is a public company but is very agile and behaves like a big startup
* Great culture that aligned with ours - work hard, play hard.
* Transparent communication - open door policy and easy to have straight-talking conversations directly with exec team. CEO is v. approachable
* Respect for the team and individuals - open to opinions, the way things may have worked and open a discussion. Straight-talking encouraged
* Independence - indepedence or autonomy to grow the business. Especially on product direction which is always important to a founder
As a company, we feel like we are an empowered division within the big company. We are growing the business at a great pace and feel rewarded in doing so.Cons
Getting up to speed with internal stakeholders and process (more a reflection of being in a different timezone / office)
Advice to Management
keep up the empowerment of your people - the right people always respond to ambitious goals and challenges

"Great Company, Culture and Management"
StarStarStarStarStarI have been working at CallidusCloud full-time
Pros
I've been working for CallidusCloud for about 2 1/2 years, and I really enjoy my job. I can actually say that I look forward to coming into work every day. There is a very laid back culture which makes it a very comfortable environment. It mirrors the culture of some of the largest high-tech companies in Silicon Valley. The management team is top notch and are always looking for ways to keep their employees happy. This is one of the best companies I have ever worked for, and I look forward to a long career with CallidusCloud. I would highly recommend this company if you're a hard worker looking for a fast-paced, fun working environment.
Cons
I think annual performance reviews would be beneficial.
