Vantaggi

Some of the staff are really great. They know what they're doing, are helpful to others, and respectful when asking for help. There are some exciting projects to work on. But, you'll have to work hard to get assigned to those projects.

Svantaggi

Some of the staff are simply incompetent. They survive by leeching off their peers, and management is too detached to notice or deal with this effectively. Management consistently picks the wrong solution, sometimes even for problems that don't exist. Similarly, management seems to have no coherent strategy for which features to pursue -- instead we pursue all of them, poorly. This damages the reputation of the team, which is incredibly demotivating. Projects are regularly dropped at the 80% mark because a new priority has risen to the top -- typically, a political priority. Management seems to be most concerned with ingratiating themselves with their peers than the performance of the team, or delivering the best solutions possible.

Vantaggi

Being a sales representative at Pythian has a lot of advantages.: - The leadership team is holistically (ie spanning GTM, delivery, everyone in-between) committed to helping the sales team succeed and bring in new business (everyone wins.) - Our technical resources and SMEs (we sell services here, and do partner heavily with our SMEs during presales) are the brightest in the business, spanning 40+ named data/cloud infra technologies (and many more in the overall braintrust). - Autonomy over your own business ie: if you are achieving your goals people will (mostly) give you leeway do what you need to do to continue selling successfully.

Svantaggi

- Private equity backed organization, so it can feel like we are understaffed pretty frequently. This can slow sales cycles and create CSAT issues. Need to be ready to adapt. - The sales reps at Pythian who find success need to be comfortable being agile, we encounter new situations every day and opportunities/problems rarely fit into a box. Also need to be comfortable taking ownership over situations for the betterment of your customers, pipeline, etc. - Very minimal pipeline generation support.
