Pros

Good company and CEO. Great marketing organization. Good products that need help. Great benefits.

Cons
  • Very self-centered organization, typical of marketing and sales. People find every opportunity to promote themselves shamelessly. That kind of stuff is encouraged.

  • Very ordinary sales leadership. No idea of what it is to sell to enterprise. Still works as if it's selling widgets to a mom-and-pop shop.

Very much a sales and marketing company that does not like a contrarian viewpoint. If you come from an engineering or technology organization, it's a huge challenge to even have a conversation.

Products are good but long in the tooth.

Advice to Management

Improve sales leadership to get more seasoned leaders and to get more products to market faster. Also, please inculcate some level of humility and get out of the teenager selfie mindset.
