Pros

-Designer (the core product) is rock solid. It is a workhorse. -Great benefits -401k Match is pretty good -lots of analyst really like the software if they are using large data sets -leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant -pay is okay at best. other companies pay the same or more -most of the commercial sales team has good leaders. I really respect the VP of commercial sales

Cons

-middle management and especially front line managers on the sales teams are terrible. in some cases they have 25 year olds running "enterprise sales teams". -they have grown too fast and not put the proper people in management roles. it is VERY clear even at the AE level how dysfunctional sales management is. -the culture is absolutely TOXIC on the sales team. -they treat their employees terrible. they criticize and humiliate people in public/group settings. encourage them to work nights and weekends. -work/life balance is awful. they do not put family first. I have heard them tell people "your career should come first". -100% fear based culture. If you speak up about any of the very obvious problems, you will likely be fired or forced out. -there is a reason they have multiple lawsuits against them by employees and former employees. I can say definitively that the lawsuit are NOT merit less. -they play favorites more than any place I have ever seen. A big corporate politics environment. -in 2020 they skyrocketed the quotas AND lowered the commission rates significantly. there is a reason they are always hard selling the comp plans. -you will be pressured to work ridiculous hours and use unethical high pressure sales tactics (that rarely work)

Pros

Great healthcare benefits and the legacy product still works

Cons

You won’t find worse leadership, micromanagement, broken processes, and a new ‘vision’ every quarter. Customers have stopped renewing and they are forced to buy features they don’t use or want.
