Walkme is run and resourced as essentially two separate businesses: the Americas, Europa/APJ. Whilst the US has a strong leadership and is running well, the International business is comically poor. The leadership in the International business has clearly never expanded a scale up in Europe before.
• Most talented employees last no more than 18 months and then realize this is one of those career mistakes that needs to be moved on from quickly. I will leave also asap.
• AEs do not like Micro Management and Micro Reporting. Me neither.
• The processes are badly designed (especially for a company who claims that they improve their customers processes) and leave all the work for the AEs. I never had such a high workload with such small chances to earn my variable commission. One could potentially tolerate a bullying nature if execution was exceptional and winning deals a home run.
• Although I worked for other small companies, I have never seen such a wild west behavior within the European sales territory. Without any discussion, they take accounts from you although you have been working on them intensively.
• Don’t express your opinion if you don’t agree with the management team. Otherwise, it feels like you will be the next person to be exited if you speak out or do not say the right things.
• There is a lack of empathy in Europe towards Non-Israeli employees and customers.
• Walkme is notoriously late paying out commissions.
• If you resign, you better have no outstanding commissions. People are getting fired without industry-appropriate severance pay.
