Pros

The pros are all in the ideas, words, Vision of the company - taking employees out for an alcoholic beverage after an 4(11-hr) days is not proper compensation. Managers (and there are waaaaay to many of them) are more concerned with the illusion of a great work environment than the actual practice of it. I did meet a number of brilliant, interesting, talented people here - but they are grossly displaced. They are in an industry that is booming.

Cons

Improper skills match = hight turnover. Illusion (not the actual practice) of a decent(not even asking for great) work/life balance = high turnover Improper/mismatched compensation = high turnover Lousy benefits for people with family = high turnover Too many chiefs not enough constituents = high turnover Inconsistent/lack of flow of information = high turnover Management with illusions of grandeur = high turnover Favoritsm = keeps less qualified people in play and frustrates good employee out of work = high turnover. If you HAVE TO work here, bite the bullet and do your 6 month stint or whatever you can stomach then be on your way. ... Need I continue?

Pros

The company was a great place to work under the leadership of its founder and CEO. It offered strong products, a positive culture, and exceptional sales leadership. However, after the founder and president departed, the company’s direction and leadership changed significantly, impacting the overall employee experience.

Cons

Since the leadership transition, the focus appears to have shifted away from employees and more toward financial performance and investor perception. The company has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs, while at the same time hiring sales representatives who often seemed underprepared for the role. Much of the enablement function was reduced or eliminated, with an increasing reliance on AI-driven solutions. Leadership within my department was challenging (toxic). There was a noticeable tendency to favor individuals brought in from a previous company, which negatively impacted morale and team dynamics - leadership was clueless . The leadership style often came across as inflexible, with limited openness to alternative perspectives or collaboration. It was a “I know best because I’m so experienced so it should be THIS way” mentality . As a result, cross-functional relationships suffered (sales leaders didn’t respect dept leadership) and there was little partnership with sales leadership to reinforce training and enablement initiatives. One bright spot was the Sales Engineering organization. The team was highly skilled, well-respected, and led by an exceptional leader who fostered a strong culture and delivered real value to the business. Overall, while the company offers solid products and has talented people in certain areas, the culture, leadership decisions, and ongoing organizational instability make it difficult for me to recommend as a long-term career destination.
