Pluspunten

The individual contributors! I've met a great bunch of people there to learn from and have fun together, but most of them are suffering or leaving. The product! While it is a nice to have, companies will get great value out of it if they only understand how or who should do it. The vision of Sales Enablement (and the founders) is still alive and lives in this product!

Minpunten

Massive turnaround and unclear hiring decisions, especially on director level upwards. And then 12 months later people are let go again one day to the other and everything starts over again while ICs try to keep the ship running and on track. The performance review process is not existing. I had no personal goals throughout my employment, but it doesn't matter as there was no merit cycle anyways for quite a while. But "important" promotions were still done but not communicated to the company. You've learned from LinkedIn who was lucky. Unwanted people were let go regardless of performance or goal achievement anyways. Don't fall for the promises: don't join for something in the future! Chances are it won't come, the person who said that won't be there anymore or got overruled. You'll get higher or responsiblities but without the promotion to see "how you're doing" first. Benefits: there is a huge gap in benefits across the offices, maybe even intentionally to slowly dry out the regional offices or hubs. Customer proximity or local language isn't relevant anymore, centralization is key and english "good enough". No interest in personal growth. There is always a budget for personal growth mentioned, but whenever someone had an idea how to use that budget for his personal developement it was too expensive, not relevant, already used for some "team releated initiative" or it just took ages to come to a decision. The culture slowly died. Nowadays it's far away from being transparent, can do attitude and grow together. Many team leads and managers are inexperienced and just got up there due to tenure, relationships or elbows, creating an environment of micromanagement, mistrust and fear. Politics, especially between Europe and the US, is all present and people get blocked in progressing if they are on the wrong side of the pond. At the beginning it was a company with belgian roots and european mindset but it has become a wanna be US corporate for a very high price... the culture and the people.
