Pros

Selling market leading products in the R&D SMB space.

Cons

Autonomy over alignment is breaking at scale Sales training non-existent, or left in the hands of managers who have 0 time. Variable compensation is an absolute joke. Don’t get fooled by the RSU piece; they vest quarterly. You’d have to wait a year to start cashing out one quarter at a time to avoid paying short term gains Operations feels like a dictatorship vs a supporting function. CEO has a say in everything, can’t trust leaders to lead Archaic internal systems and processes slow down deal progression The comp plan is understood only by those who created it. It changes often. No one understands salesforce forecasting, or how much they’re getting paid. Can’t ask manager as they have no clue either.

Pros

Large presence in the industry and good-hearted, intelligent, and well-meaning people work there. Stable company, not going to be purchased by private equity and endure large layoffs

Cons

part of their motto is "do the right thing" but that's not applied when it comes to salaries or work-life balance. working weekends and well past normal hours seems to be a regular thing that most people are doing. a manager's solution to my issue of having more work than was feasible to complete was just to work longer days. "Veeva Speed" is a sugarcoated phrase everyone uses to indicate being overworked and initial training is like drinking from a fire hose; this company makes enough money to hire the correct amount of people to do the work and pay them fairly.
