Pros

The company allows for remote work for certain roles.

Cons

-Micromanagement (non-subject matter experts telling subject experts how to do things) -Lack of adherence to company values -Culture 'talk' but not in practice -Roles under-leveled and underpaid compared against fair market values and similar companies in the same industry (from what I have personally seen) -Outsourcing roles to India to save money (even during the best quarter in years) -Lack of support or team environment -Operates as a small business when it is not a small business any longer -Highly siloed with little cross-department communication -No clear understanding of the business as a whole due to siloed structure (the term 'matrixed' is thrown around a lot)

Pros

None as of 2026, use to be a great place to work.

Cons

There has been a noticeable pattern of pattern of experienced, tenured reps exiting at a rapid pace, Constant structural changes, shifting comp plans, an evolving expectations create instability. Performance standards continue to rise while territories continue to shrink and market conditions continually become more challenging. Not enough business to go around so rep and different teams are fighting over business. Quota attainment is at an all-time low and competition is tougher than ever. Sales teams recycle every year now, solid reps are fired because territory can't handle quota and new reps come in then are pushed out as soon as they are fully ramped. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING JOINING AS A SALES REP, HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE. THE OTE ON LINKEDIN IS NO LONGER EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT YOU WILL MAKE. Leadership is atrocious and mid level management is even worse. UNLESS YOU ARE COMFORTABLE OPERATING IN A HIGHLY VOLATILE SALES ENVIRONMENT WITH LIMITED LONG-TERM SECURITY, THIS IS NOT A COMPANY I WOULD RECOMMEND JOINING AT THIS TIME.
