Pluspunten

You will work with intelligent, capable people, and you will have opportunities to grow as a software developer.

Minpunten

There is no prioritization of work. We always work on the latest CEO idea. CEO is experienced in managing people but not a billion-dollar company. The CEO is anxious and doesn't know how to communicate. VPs are getting all the heat and get fired, but they are, in most cases, not the reason for failure. Do not expect a merit increase. You only avoid to be the next in line if you exceed expectations.

Pluspunten

There are some truly great people working there - but they churn so quickly it's difficult to gain any momentum. Marketing team is fantastic. They have managed to rebrand/repackage the same solution over and over.

Minpunten

My experience as an AE exposed consistent gaps across product, leadership, and sales execution. The product often felt more like repackaged positioning than meaningful innovation, which made late-stage sales difficult—especially as customer churn is a real challenge Leadership lacked clear direction, with constant pressure on forecasting and optics over realistic deal progression. FINAO - failure is not an option - with daily forecast meetings - pressuring reps in front of the entire sales team. Sketchy business practices - Pre - booking deals that were very early stage to negotiate pre-buys with large distribution and then pressuring sales teams to "find deals" to send over. All to make an end of quarter or end of year number. Several cases of members of the sales team being let go "due to performance" - even though they had a large pipeline with deals in closing/procurement stages. This typically happened just before the end of quarter to boost their numbers and avoid paying out earned commissions. Customer Success turnover was also incredibly high, affecting continuity and customer outcomes. You can't sell to angry customers. Product innovation lags behind positioning - MAX, SCDR and V2 all smoke and mirrors.
