Vantaggi

Core tech is good, pay and benefits good, people are good, ok customer list.

Svantaggi

Sharing the things I wish I was told. This is a whale hunting job where you will be expected to prospect like you did in your early 20's and when I mean prospect I mean you will do nothing else this is the main reason for so much attrition as so many were lied to. 12 month + sales cycles with no inbound or out bound marketing - good luck achieving hyper growth that way. Just launched a 'SaaS product' more like a private cloud they manage walk up pricing you'd think would be cheaper than on premise it ain't. Attainment is a joke literally 5 people in a team of 30+ sellers sold ANYTHING last financial year let alone hit quota. Positions itself as some sort of special AI platform. It is basically a marginally better IDP solution vs the incumbents i.e. Kofax etc. It needs to pivot but has just retrenched 40 people globally as cash burn is out of control due to over hiring. My fellow salesperson if you join....well....you were warned.

Vantaggi

Many employees are talented, collaborative, and committed to doing good work despite challenging circumstances. There are opportunities to take ownership and gain experience in a fast-moving environment.

Svantaggi

The company struggles with fundamental leadership and execution issues. There is a lack of clear strategy, consistent direction, and alignment at the leadership level, which leads to frequent priority changes and ineffective execution. Leadership accountability appears limited, while expectations for employees continue to increase alongside ongoing headcount reductions. This has created a high-pressure environment without the structure or support needed to succeed. Organizational processes are underdeveloped for a company at this stage, resulting in inefficiencies and repeated rework. Retention is a concern, with frequent turnover impacting team stability and morale. There are also cultural concerns, particularly around inclusivity and respect. Representation in leadership is limited, and there is a clear opportunity to build a more inclusive and equitable environment. Additionally, there is a noticeable disconnect between external messaging and internal reality, including company size, stability, and overall business momentum.
