Pros

Not quite sure, salary maybe?

Cons

There are layoffs every quarter (and they deny them but they happen), you'll end up working on things that don't make sense, since the scope also changes quarterly. Sadly it looks like the CEO likes to have everyone on pressure and micromanage, so they all say yes to him on everything, it doesn't matter how moronic the requests are. Building a career here is impossible, I haven't received a single raise of salary in four years and the quarter reviews are rigged so that does not happen, the only reason those reviews are used is to actually fire people. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy

Pros

There are some truly great people working there - but they churn so quickly it's difficult to gain any momentum. Marketing team is fantastic. They have managed to rebrand/repackage the same solution over and over.

Cons

My experience as an AE exposed consistent gaps across product, leadership, and sales execution. The product often felt more like repackaged positioning than meaningful innovation, which made late-stage sales difficult—especially as customer churn is a real challenge Leadership lacked clear direction, with constant pressure on forecasting and optics over realistic deal progression. FINAO - failure is not an option - with daily forecast meetings - pressuring reps in front of the entire sales team. Sketchy business practices - Pre - booking deals that were very early stage to negotiate pre-buys with large distribution and then pressuring sales teams to "find deals" to send over. All to make an end of quarter or end of year number. Several cases of members of the sales team being let go "due to performance" - even though they had a large pipeline with deals in closing/procurement stages. This typically happened just before the end of quarter to boost their numbers and avoid paying out earned commissions. Customer Success turnover was also incredibly high, affecting continuity and customer outcomes. You can't sell to angry customers. Product innovation lags behind positioning - MAX, SCDR and V2 all smoke and mirrors.
