Pluspunten

At this point it's very hard to list any that aren't overshadowed by the cons. The snacks in the kitchen don't hurt and lunch three times a week doesn't hurt.

Minpunten

Last quarter's earnings pretty much say it all. Before I was ultimately terminated 1) my manager quit 2) my manager's manager quit and 3) my manager's -manager's- manager quit (C-level). Shortly after that, another C- level quit. This is a company with about 6,000 employees globally... When senior management and C levels abort... there's a reason. Toxic culture while attempting to perpetuate "core values" that senior leadership does not exemplify is a joke not lost on every employee. My team was reorged twice before 20% were fired. The toxicity that I speak of was not just internal to my team and org- I had amazing relationships with many individuals on multiple different teams. It is a cancer that has spread through the organization. Annual reviews prompt managers to place direct reports into one of three buckets to consider promotion: 1. does not meet expectations 2. meets expectations 3. exceeds expectations. I was told by senior leadership as well as coached to relay to my direct reports that 90% plus of all employees fall into the "meets expectations bucket" and as such, does not correlate to a promotion. Promotions happen for those cherry-picked individual few. Good luck to this company... the smart, hard-working, talented young people you've hired and are trying to retain with nothing in return will simply go elsewhere ...because we can.

Employee stock purchase program is great.

Minpunten

This was one of the most toxic sales cultures I’ve experienced. Management creates an environment where you never know where you stand, regardless of your performance. Expectations constantly shift, feedback is inconsistent, and trust is virtually nonexistent. QBRs are particularly unprofessional. Rather than serving as coaching sessions, they often feel like coordinated attempts to find fault. Managers openly collaborate beforehand and during QBRs (yes, we see you slacking each other) to identify issues and pressure reps, creating a culture of fear instead of development. Account ownership is also a major concern. Accounts and opportunities can be taken away without warning, even when a rep is performing well and has invested significant time building relationships. This makes it difficult to feel motivated or confident in your long-term success. The organization measures and critiques nearly every activity, resulting in extreme micromanagement. Reps are treated as if they cannot be trusted to do their jobs, and leadership seems far more focused on monitoring and criticism than enabling success. In my experience, the company tends to hire less experienced salespeople who may be more willing to accept this environment. Strong, seasoned reps who value autonomy, transparency, and professional respect are unlikely to thrive here. If you’re looking for a culture built on trust, coaching, and empowerment, this is probably not the place.
