Pros

Hours are straightforward. No overtime.

Cons

Management did not share goals, "downsized" a month before the holiday season and there was no warning for anyone. Senior management decided to tell the staff that they were losing their jobs after a mandatory meeting going through how he will be a servant leader. He needed to get to the point since people didn't care about what kind of leader he was going to be. They were focused on whether or not they would have a job at the end of the day. There was no job growth for me at the company, they were not straightforward with potential growth through other positions. After I was let go, I applied for a position that I was qualified for, with a Masters degree, and didn't even get a response from HR that they received my resume. (this after recruitment said they would set me up with at least preference for potential positions in the company). I went back to the website a few days later and they changed the job name (to probably get out of responding to potential transfer of positions) and never heard a word from them again. I would not put it past them to do something shady like this.

Pros

The company was a great place to work under the leadership of its founder and CEO. It offered strong products, a positive culture, and exceptional sales leadership. However, after the founder and president departed, the company’s direction and leadership changed significantly, impacting the overall employee experience.

Cons

Since the leadership transition, the focus appears to have shifted away from employees and more toward financial performance and investor perception. The company has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs, while at the same time hiring sales representatives who often seemed underprepared for the role. Much of the enablement function was reduced or eliminated, with an increasing reliance on AI-driven solutions. Leadership within my department was challenging (toxic). There was a noticeable tendency to favor individuals brought in from a previous company, which negatively impacted morale and team dynamics - leadership was clueless . The leadership style often came across as inflexible, with limited openness to alternative perspectives or collaboration. It was a “I know best because I’m so experienced so it should be THIS way” mentality . As a result, cross-functional relationships suffered (sales leaders didn’t respect dept leadership) and there was little partnership with sales leadership to reinforce training and enablement initiatives. One bright spot was the Sales Engineering organization. The team was highly skilled, well-respected, and led by an exceptional leader who fostered a strong culture and delivered real value to the business. Overall, while the company offers solid products and has talented people in certain areas, the culture, leadership decisions, and ongoing organizational instability make it difficult for me to recommend as a long-term career destination.
