Pros

Some of your peers. PTO (except if you leave you don't get paid out) Great pay if you are a VP or higher

Cons

Management at all levels has no idea what is happening in the market, with customers, and with prospects. Customers are leaving on a daily basis, prospects won't engage, and there really isn't anyone else to buy. Get out from behind the dashboards and broken metrics. Solutions are dated, regardless of SKY. When is the last time you rolled out something your R&D team created vs buying. Current CEO is on the same path as the former - buy, buy, buy. For tech company, comp is poor (so you are sold on the do-gooder mission)

Pros

Flexible remote work environment and good PTO

Cons

Extremely toxic sales culture here with boys club and clear favoritism. Sales director and VP are the reason for this as they are extremely unprofessional. Mass exodus is for a reason and unsure why HR is ignoring claims on sexism and favoritism with every female employee that seems to be leaving. No career growth or opportunities unless you are part of the boys club here as it is apparently and obvious. Ask the right questions before considering a job here. You are unable to be successful here with onboarding because of completely out of touch and delusional sales trainers. Seems like we are in a complete clown show here!
