Pros

- The people (minus those from Tibco) are amazing and will become not only your biggest internal champions but also great friends. - The technology is strong and well-adopted at a handful of key customers. - In the past, there has been great reward and opportunities for growth for those who are successful. - Flexible work schedule.

Cons

If you are planning to join the sales team, you will not be set up for success due to the following roadblocks: - The executive leadership team does not communicate to anyone outside of the management bubble; therefore, it will be tough to understand the company’s trajectory and how to communicate any changes to customers. - All departments, especially marketing, are siloed to the point that you’ll be challenged to find any internal resources that are up-to-date. - Decisions are made in a vacuum and not transparent. - Sales operations is basically nonexistent and commissions calculations aren’t clear nor are they shared with reps prior to depositing. - Boys club sales culture that is non-inclusive to anyone outside of that circle. - Sales management is weak and not supportive of the reps. There are also only a few key people at the company (many who have left recently) that have much of the tribal knowledge and are overworked. - QUIET! If you’re joining new, there isn’t much sales camaraderie and the training materials are lackluster. It’ll be really tough to ramp. - Sales cycles are long, so unless you have an existing customer account or are on the commercial sales team, you may not close a new land your first year. All expandable customer accounts are held by a select few reps that joined from tibco. - Although the technology is solid, it is beginning to fall behind key competitors in the space. PM hasn’t been a helpful sales ally either when requesting critical features for customers.

Pros

Great coworkers, collaborative culture, and a supportive team environment. I had the opportunity to work with talented people across sales, engineering, and leadership who were always willing to help. The company offers strong learning opportunities, especially for those interested in technology and

Cons

Focus on creating a culture where employees feel respected, supported, and valued. Take employee feedback seriously and hold managers and team leads accountable for how they interact with their teams. When employees raise concerns or ask for support, ensure those issues are addressed with meaningful action rather than being overlooked. Better communication, transparency, and leadership accountability would help build trust, improve morale, and strengthen employee retention.
