Not what its hyped up to be - Backwards Sales Dept - werkgeversreview Sales Account Manager bij Red Hat

When I applied to Red Hat, I was looking to work for a company that I could see myself working for over the next 20+ years of my career. I was mislead by the market and reputation that Red Hat continues to have. Let me tell you - the great culture applies to some departments but NOT the SALES DEPT. When I spoke to the People Team about my concerns they told me about the work they have put into have an "OPEN CULTURE and OPEN Management" BUT IT DOESN'T apply to the 13th floor AKA the SALES DEPT. HR admitted this themselves and told me that they are constantly getting complaints about the sales culture. The Sales organization is BACKWARDS. It is mostly run by 20-30 something men with HUGE ego's who believe in the Wolf of Wall Street sales environment where you work until 8PM or even some nights until Midnight. There is little to no concern for people with families. You feel guilty for taking PTO or asking to work remote even though we all have laptops and VPN access. We are all micromanaged through different tools integrated with Salesforce and other apps. There are even monitors under your desk to see how often you are at your desk. I wish someone would had told me that the "open culture" did not apply to the Sales Department. I would be curious to know what their turnover rate. I would not recommend to anyone with sales experience that are looking for a company that will treat them like an adult.
