Pros

Ok benefits, great tech, happy customers (for the most part)

Cons

Todd made a costly mistake in 2021 by hiring an inexperienced President that ruined the entire organization which will now take years to rebuild. It is actually kind of upsetting how everyone could see this happening from miles away with the exception of Todd. Both the President and CRO are out now which was celebrated across the sales org. But the rebuild will take a while and unfortunately some positions have to be eliminated to make the sales org more productive.

Pros

Good company benefits - private healthcare, employee stock purchase programme Annual sales kickoff

Cons

All calls & emails are now monitored. Graded & tracked on your calls. New requirement is now to have 50+ calls a month recorded in Gong (Gong was previously phased out but now a requirement). Pay rises are low, false promises each year of promotions & generous pay rises Team members favoured over others Work life balance now near on impossible with all the new asks put in place
