Pros

- Strong solution engineering team - Competitive commission plan - Great customer list

Cons

- Complete lack of consistency and follow through especially as it relates to sales and marketing; all initiatives are touted as the the thing that will right the ship but they last 2 to 4 weeks and then they are forgotten or partially executed (marketing campaigns, top accounts, ABM, etc.) - Unable to differentiate from competitors and entry into DXP market was a mistake considering the solution portfolio doesn't qualify - Ineffective marketing resulting in a dearth of new leads; the "we're converting from PLG" excuse only lasts so long; unclear what Contentful stands for - Strong AE's cannot achieve quota with massive turnover in certain regions
