Pros

New VP Sales Roisin seems great and eager to fix some of the cracks in culture and management

Cons

Half of small business are on PIPs or being threatening by their manager with one. They paused them until august because everyone is struggling but management still using them as a weapon to threaten your role in the business. Some managers are bully's and you can't go to HR because you will have a target on your back but there is no other way of voicing your concern or giving upward feedback so you have to sit back and take it. Targets are u achievable in this market. A handful of people hit them. Some people have different sets of admissions in the crm from when they were in bdr or isc which allows them to source quicker and in bulk which is so unfair. Some people scam the system by bulk sourcing and its never mentioned, however I have seen management admiring their drive. It is impossible to not be burnt out of let this role affect your mental health with one VQR slot a year. No one wants a week of rest we want to choose our own time off that fits our life. You are also asked to do insane activities and create deals of poor quality just to get numbers up.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
