Vantaggi

Sadly, only current PRO I can think of is Unlimited PTO (there used to be more, but the company has severely changed).

Svantaggi

*Used to be fully remote, but then forced employees back to a hybrid state (even when they were hired remotely) *Underpaid as a CSM (what used to help counteract that was the bonuses and strong commission, but that keeps getting smaller and smaller) *Used to be really customer focused... but now just money hungry. * LAY OFFS (due to the acquisition, they made A LOT of changes, The CEO lied to the faces of everyone when we were concerned of that, but promised no lay offs and no pay cuts. (spoiler alert, both happened)

Hi Knowster. Our hybrid work set up has been put in place to remain customer-oriented so we can have our team collaborating together to create the best customer experience possible. Our employees and customers have always been front of mind, and they always will be. Stu has mentioned in our company-wide daily briefings that restructuring has taken place, especially on the revenue side. The cybersecurity industry is rapidly changing, and we must change with it to remain competitive.

Svantaggi

Out of about 100 AE's only 10 hit Quota, OTE is a joke there. It's possible to hit quota if you are lucky with your inbound leads, but if you want to hit quota every month you have to do something moreso out of the box. I was trained by hard closers and have a lot of expierence with cold calls so i came up with my own script and was getting a demo a day, and was doing a demo a day. The demos did lead to sales as well, so it wasn't a waste of time. I got fired because of a "lack of professionalism" I spoke off script all the time because speaking on script leads you in to the Kool-aid drinkers club, aka not hitting quota consistently. I was fired without warning, even though I was told I had an incredible work ethic and was exceeding the ramp-up numbers. I just didnt match their sales style, they are not looking for salespeople, they are looking for sales associates. They make you work 9-hour days, 1 hour mandatory lunch that has to be taken in the middle of the day. 9-6pm. Their handbook even says you are allowed to take this lunch at 5 pm to go home sooner, but the managers never let that happen. DO NOT BE CREATIVE AT THIS JOB, DRINK THE JUICE.
