Pros

There are genuinely some nice people there who are looking to help each other succeed.

Cons

Lack of 401K match and low pay compared to other tech companies in tech. I've also never been at a company where it was discouraged to ask for help and none was provided given that there is barely any technical training given. This is also a male dominated company with only 1 female in a leadership role.

Not as great as it use to be

Pros

The people I work with are amazing. I can't overstated that enough. The best in the biz!The product is great too.

Cons

The management is overbearing and micromanages. There is no benefits and the salary is wayyyy below-par for the Bay Area. Like the reviews before me stated, this company doesn't even provide the necessary equipment needed for you to succeed. Also, as another reviewer previously stated, all these unnecessary procedures/processes being added just makes our lives more difficult. The budget cut for team outings is also very disappointing. If you are not gonna pay us, at least let us have some fun. Overall, the rate of attrition within the company is increasing and the management team knows why, regardless of how they pretend everything is fine. LeanData reminds me of the meme where the dog is sitting in a burning house, convincing himself everything is fine.

Pros

The product actually works, it is fairly well known among fast growing startups in the Bay Area and a little outside of the Bay as well. A great place to train and start if you are right out of college and can afford to live with your parents like most of the ADR's do. Unlimited PTO that seems to be an unspoken rule that you can't take ( I haven't even been able to see a Dr. )

Cons

This is NOT a place I would recommend to anyone with experience. The pay is very low in comparison to other companies the OTE is unrealistic. There is literally 2 people out of 30 or so that actually hit quota. The two that hit quota have been there for years and have figured out the "LeanData" way which is grabbing accounts that have been worked for a long time. Everyone else is starving to death with the scraps. The product is middleware and salesforce native so you are limited to whom you can sell to. The management whom is mostly new fails to understand the product or the likeliness of this product actually being able to scale the way that they have said to investors. There is no work life balance, no ability to work from home and the executives LITERALLY walk around to see who is at their desk at 8 am and 5pm. They are very cheap and do not even give you the tools to do your job. I had to buy my own mouse! Benefits for a startup are very few. They hired a bunch of people everyone is miserable and looking elsewhere. Most of the people I know that took the jobs here were in a bad spot and had to take the job. I don't for see this being a long term place for anyone. We never know who is going to be fired from week to week. The common theme from ex employees if that they had no idea they were getting canned until they came in that day.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear your experience was not the best here so far. As always, my door, HR and the doors of your managers and sales leaders are open if you have any issues and would like to have a direct conversation. Making sure every sales rep is successful as we scale is very important and is a corporate objective, as such we have invested a lot in the past 6 months to transform our sales organization in FY20 to be one of the best in the industry. We’ve brought in experienced leadership, we’ve transformed our territories to balance accounts fairly, we revamped our sales comp plans to make them not only competitive but also uncapped the earnings potential, so the sky's the limit on commission. We have also instituted may new sales policies and programs such as LeanData Sales Academy, Presidents Club, adjusted quotas across the board to make sure our sales team can achieve their goals. We’ve hired many more ADRs and boast one of the only sales organizations that have a nearly 1:1 ADR to Sales AE ratio. Again, sales is not easy and change can take time but with the help and support of a program and organization such as the one at LeanData, we hope all of our sales team members can achieve their goals. Again, feel free to provide us with any direct feedback and we will work to solve your issues together.
