Would Rate Higher if My Direct Leader Was Someone Else

Pros

Great Culture, Wonderful People to work with. The sales training is unmatched and the product is amazing.

Cons

Leadership has a tendency to micro - manage. From what I hear its department dependent. Was told not to take PTO in the last 4 months of the year by my leadership which against company policy. Not cool. My direct manager tends to speed up the sales cycle for a decision that takes 6 months to a year. Always asking how we can get it done in a month or two. Not realistic and this creates issues. My direct leader does not have my back but only concerned with her "brand". This may not be the case across the board but it is the case with my team

Pros

Good sales training, and decent pay

Cons

Rely too much on their frameworks to have a personality, watered down territory, over sold accounts. 5x more expensive than closest competitor. Everything gets blamed on the rep, company is going bankrupt, reps fault

Pros

Free food on office days Only two office days

Cons

You get your accounts from an ae who transitioned or was promoted. By the time you meet the cio, he’s pissed about meeting so many new ae’s If you can’t talk about taylor swift and cats you won’t be a good fit. It is not uncommon to be assigned to a manager who is clueless because he or she was an ae last year.
