Vantaggi
- Good place to start your career and make a name for yourself. DO has grown tremendously in a short period of time, but is still small enough that with hard work, you can advance much more quickly than at a larger company. - Solid product that you can support and sell with genuine confidence and pride. - Successful company with a proven foundation and likely positive future. - Organized and process-driven; lots of good sales enablement tools
Svantaggi
- PTO and other benefits are not competitive with industry standards, including among other non-Silicon Valley backed startups. - Sales leadership is often unprofessional, even to clients. Speaking to a client who was unhappy with their current agreement following the RainKing acquisition, a manager used profanity and said "too bad, should have gone with us to begin with" (paraphrasing and not including the original language). That type of attitude/behavior wasn't an isolated incident. - The cronyism among upper management seems borderline incestuous and is pretty weird if you're on the outside looking in. If you overlap the org chart, Henry's family tree, and Henry's top 8 MySpace friends from college, it would look like a classic Venn diagram. - Work/life balance is poor, but it goes beyond that (see above) since it seems you have to not only work long hours to get ahead (normal in sales), but spend a lot of time outside of work with co-workers. Would upper management feel differently about this if they weren't working with their closest friends and family members? - Totally medieval WFH policies. - Much of the research team seems unhappy and resentful of other departments. - Definitely not the only company to do this, but the overly positive Glassdoor reviews always ring false.
