Boomi reviews

Working through a few necessary org changes, but making strong progress.

Since struggling to please its new owners since becoming an independent company, Boomi is now onto its second CEO, who has chosen to raise the aggressiveness of the culture significantly. Boomi has always adopted a rather aggressive stance towards prospects. Rather than honestly positioning its offerings fairly to make prospects successful, instead it’s always been to over-promise that there’s nothing the product can’t do, while spending the time finding something to sell to the prospect whether it helps them achieve success or not. Frankly, most prospects would probably do better by adopting NiFi and Python if all theyre looking to do is shift transactional data around. Boomi has upped the aggressiveness towards its customers. Audits are now commonplace, long gone are the “eat as much as you like” contracts - they’re all limited by consumption now, and your multi-year contract may not be the great value that it once was. Boomi has certainly become aggressive towards its employees. By actively over-promising to prospects and management without providing clear instructions on how to achieve what is being asked, the strain on individuals has become impossible. By setting quotas so high, it’s become impossible to achieve full commission. By allowing Product Group to deflect all blame, it’s promoted a Rat-eat-Rat culture.
