Pros
The C-level leadership is top notch. Those are leaders that I'd love to have lunch with. They are experienced and are good people that are well suited for their jobs. The CEO is a phenomenal story teller who embraces open and clear communication from the top down, which is an amazing thing. You'll never wonder what the company direction is. The marketing department is a team that embodies a solid culture of employee development and individual career growth. The senior and junior leaders in marketing have a genuine interest in their teams and I would highly recommend anyone to work on that team. HR has a sound understanding of what Workfront culture should be. They have wonderful leadership on that team that genuinely care for their staff. Sales enablement has a great team and leadership too. They have been producing solid content and opportunities for reps and managers to take their skills to the next level.
Cons
You know it's a problem when sales leadership has to go around and tell the sales teams that there is no boogie man out to get you, but then you see sales guys get let go with no warning. A little bit of a mixed message there. The sad truth is there is a reoccurring joke that surfaces weekly, where the sales reps express confusion, wondering if they are next... The reason there is a boogie man is because a number of the junior, mid and high level sales managers embody the "what have you done for me lately" sales culture. Some are very capable in their roles and are a delight to work for, but the majority have no sales skills, no people development skills, and no coaching or training skills, which are the actual characteristics of a functional manager. If you like spread sheet sales managers, this might be the place for you. The fact is, all the good sales managers, good sale reps and good people have either left, or are actively looking to leave. If that is happening in any sales organization at any company, you know you have a serious problem.
