Thank you for taking time to write this review and offering feedback. I was happy to read that you are seeing improvements and have opportunities to step up and make a difference. Regarding your advice to continue to focus on system improvements, it’s always a balance between developing new features/functions and improving the performance and stability of the system. Engineering leadership continues to work closely with Product leadership to develop a roadmap that balances both priorities appropriately. In the near term, you will see more effort going to system improvements that engineering has identified as important. Thanks again for the feedback. Jon Byom, Senior Vice President – Engineering

Pros

Some of the most amazing people you’ll ever work with. Generally supportive peers. Leaders are kind and not intentionally toxic. Strong brand recognition and a variety of solutions to enable solution selling.

Cons

The culture of the organization seems to have succumbed to the broader climate surrounding politics and education. Immense pressure is placed on sales team to deliver in saturated territories with beyond unachievable quotas for some and cake quotas for others. No cost of living increases, lots of layoffs and unclear path for growth with an egregious lack of transparency from leadership about the glaring issues. NONE of this seems intentional or malicious-it just seems like a lot of behaviors caused by extreme desperation.
