Produce or get out quick

Business Outlook

Pros

Team culture is strong. Benefits are outstanding. Bells ring when you make sales. Co-workers are overall amazing. Quotas for calls, meetings and sales are well defined. CRM system is very easy to use.

Cons

Ramp period is serious- get to quota or get out. It's not as easy as they make it sound- the product is difficult to make HR executives see as a "must have". Management team is VERY young and inexperienced.

An open environment. Perhaps too open.

Pros

Management is smart. Every move is analyzed and deliberate, and there have been few mistakes. There is a lot of transparency -- everyone knows where we are, where we've been, and where we're going. The team works hard and has delivered some impressive releases -- nearly always on-time, and often with only minor fire-fighting after the fact. The working environment is very open. Most of the engineering team is in a large space with no walls, so communication can happen at any time and everyone has the opportunity to overhear something that may impact what they're doing.

Cons

The open environment is a mixed blessing. If you don't like others' taste in music, or if watching "The Office" makes you cringe, you'd better be comfortable with headphones. Hardly a day goes by without my hearing something that I'd have preferred not to have heard (often in the "music" category, but every once in a while an off-topic comment will slip by) and some days it really affects my productivity.

Business Outlook

Pros

- The people and the mid level people leaders really are phenomenal so it is super hard to match the culture of this amazing org in GTM

Cons

- Senior Leadership: too many to name but the fact some of them still have a job when they wiped out most of GTM is embarrassing.

Glassdoor Response

Thank you for sharing your perspective. It’s wonderful to hear how much you valued the people and mid-level leaders who built such a strong GTM culture. That spirit remains one of our greatest strengths. Many of those leaders have since moved on, and I’m grateful for the lasting contributions they made in shaping a team and culture we’re proud of. I also recognize the frustration around the recent changes. Your feedback underscores how important it is that we protect the culture and talent that make Glassdoor special as we move forward. - Owen Humphries | President, Glassdoor
