Microaggressions & Unjust treatment of minorities common here

Sales operations manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits and flexibility are great. Burnout is very real. Microaggressions from many folks in any type of leadership role. It's sad.

Cons

LI has a big asian culture. Other minorities, specifically black employees, often have an uphill battle we must fight if we want to be taken serious. There are a few token black people ofcourse, it's all one big coverup for the massive disfunction. I had to get out ASAP.

Good culture - agree and get promoted

Sales manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people and great culture. WLB good.

Cons

They don’t really want diverse thinking. Say yes, agree with senior directors and you will go far. Question the status quo or provide a different perspective and you will be seen as a detractor.

Business Outlook

Pros

Microsoft shares days off perks Sales kick off trip

Cons

Sales salary not competitive - how do you think the perks get paid? Through your salary! Weak sales enablement and sales culture Weak technology improvements Lots of time suckers eg unnecessary training for new features (often copying Facebook) and meetings for rah rah or alignment, leaving less time for sales work Managers are mediocre and talk too much but very little hands on coaching Feels like you are back in college, very unprofessional and immature culture at times
