Pros

Food and cab …and thu fri work from home.

Cons

​The Onboarding Reality I joined three months ago with high expectations, but the reality is a stark contrast to the interview process. Management talks a big game about AI cybersecurity products and "strategic renewals," but the actual day-to-day is a soul-crushing, manual grind. You aren't a specialist; you are a human workaround for a subpar CRM and a set of disorganized, broken processes. ​Extractive Culture … It became clear very quickly that this is an extractive environment with toxic director and managers . Even though Renewals is touted as the company's most profitable arm, the team is treated with incredible cheapness. We do the heavy lifting,securing the price uplifts and locking in multi-year contracts,only to watch the Account Executives walk away with the commission. You generate the wealth, but you aren’t allowed to share in it. Management attributes the massive turnover to "better opportunities," but after 90 days of seeing how this team operates, it’s obvious that people aren't moving to something,they are escaping from here. At least 20 people fled this team in the last year alone. It’s not "natural attrition"; it’s a mass exodus of people choosing their mental health over this toxic, BPO style management culture. Ive heard people here get promoted only on the basis of politics not performance. Individual contributors turn associate managers overnight without any managerial experience. Its a funny place! ​ The leadership here operates with the mindset of a high-pressure loan office rather than a modern tech organization. If you are a job seeker, ask the hard questions about attrition rates before you sign. I’ve only been here three months, and the lack of direction and respect for the team's effort is already loud and clear

Pros

There were many but with the new Sales Leadership, not so much anymore

Cons

Decision-making often feels driven by relationships and internal politics rather than merit, experience, or performance. Leadership talks about transparency and employee development, but many promotions and opportunities appear to be based on who you know rather than what you contribute. There is a noticeable “old boys’ club” mentality which the CRO participates in. Employees outside of favored circles can feel overlooked, regardless of their performance or willingness to take on additional responsibilities. Hard work is not always recognized, and there is a perception that some individuals receive preferential treatment. HR often feels more aligned with protecting leadership than advocating for employees. Concerns are not always handled with the level of impartiality or professionalism employees would hope for, which can make people reluctant to speak openly. HR Business partner has been known to try to bait employees in speaking badly about people who are not part of the preferred “in” group. There are many talented people at the company, and the products are excellent, but the culture can make it difficult to feel valued if you’re not part of that inner circle. If you’re considering joining, ask thoughtful questions during the interview process about leadership, career growth, and how performance is evaluated. There has been significant turnover across the sales organization. Watching experienced, high-performing employees leave one after another has become commonplace. While every company experiences attrition, the volume of departures and the consistent feedback about CRO and the culture he is building suggests deeper issues that have not been addressed. Instead of looking g inward, he blames other leaders on the team who aren’t part of his favorites.
