Pythian Response

I am sorry to hear that you felt that your recent experience wasn’t a positive one. Creating an environment where our team members feel valued is very important to us. In fact, we will be launching a new, company wide engagement survey shortly which will aid the development of new initiatives and programs to elevate our employee experience. We understand that working in a consulting environment can be a challenge at times as not only do we want to make certain we are delivering value for our services but also ensure that we are accurately billing our global clients. With that being said, I appreciate that this can cause some challenges around time reporting. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your 8+ years at Pythian. Best wishes on your new adventure.

Pros

Being a sales representative at Pythian has a lot of advantages.: - The leadership team is holistically (ie spanning GTM, delivery, everyone in-between) committed to helping the sales team succeed and bring in new business (everyone wins.) - Our technical resources and SMEs (we sell services here, and do partner heavily with our SMEs during presales) are the brightest in the business, spanning 40+ named data/cloud infra technologies (and many more in the overall braintrust). - Autonomy over your own business ie: if you are achieving your goals people will (mostly) give you leeway do what you need to do to continue selling successfully.

Cons

- Private equity backed organization, so it can feel like we are understaffed pretty frequently. This can slow sales cycles and create CSAT issues. Need to be ready to adapt. - The sales reps at Pythian who find success need to be comfortable being agile, we encounter new situations every day and opportunities/problems rarely fit into a box. Also need to be comfortable taking ownership over situations for the betterment of your customers, pipeline, etc. - Very minimal pipeline generation support.
