Pros

Nothing really. Honestly this is not a great place to work

Cons

Onboarding is very weird. No one will contact you to let you know if you are starting your job or not and suddenly someone will email you to come online. Anyway when you actually come online you will see lots of tickets. Basically this is not atop 5% dba JOB at all !. This job is for someone who has basic knowledge of MYSQL and struggling to find a Job. People here are leaving on daily basis so plenty of jobs .

Pros

Being a sales representative at Pythian has a lot of advantages.: - The leadership team is holistically (ie spanning GTM, delivery, everyone in-between) committed to helping the sales team succeed and bring in new business (everyone wins.) - Our technical resources and SMEs (we sell services here, and do partner heavily with our SMEs during presales) are the brightest in the business, spanning 40+ named data/cloud infra technologies (and many more in the overall braintrust). - Autonomy over your own business ie: if you are achieving your goals people will (mostly) give you leeway do what you need to do to continue selling successfully.

Cons

- Private equity backed organization, so it can feel like we are understaffed pretty frequently. This can slow sales cycles and create CSAT issues. Need to be ready to adapt. - The sales reps at Pythian who find success need to be comfortable being agile, we encounter new situations every day and opportunities/problems rarely fit into a box. Also need to be comfortable taking ownership over situations for the betterment of your customers, pipeline, etc. - Very minimal pipeline generation support.
