Pros

Market leading cloud solutions Ambition to become #1 global cloud vendor Opportunity to sell into large global enterprises Great training Smart, helpful colleagues

Cons

Complete lack of empathy from from 'old world' senior management team Struggling to transition from on premise to cloud model No meaningful Dem Gen engine = sales reps must find all their own opps Only a small minority of sales reps hitting quota = high turnover Constant reshuffling of territories which leads to a lot of frustration

Pros

Management tends to say it's a great company with great employees. The Central London office is in a good location with very good connections for commute. It's a nice product and a lot of new positions opening up all the time, so if you don't like your current role, you might be able to change.

Cons

I am disappointed to see such short-sight in resourcing of projects, everybody is working on at least 10 projects and if anybody has 4 hours available on the forecast report, he/she is allocated to a new project. There is constant need to negotiate for resources and they might be taken away on short notice (or no notice). In general PMs need to follow-up on everything as consultants don't keep their commitments and consultants need to do 100 things at a time while 4-5 PMs claim their work is the most important. Management is in general no use at all, everybody manages only "up-wards", direct reports get only the blame and you are among of the lucky ones if your manager talks to you once a week.. and even then you are asked about status of deliverables. Management also shares very little on the company outlook and plans. Previously there were a lot of goodies in the office (biscuits, soft drinks, fruits), nowadays only filtered water and fruits (2 times per week). IT support is practically non-existent, everything is self serve. If you have an issue with your laptop or network access, fix it yourself. As others already mentioned in the reviews, onboarding is a painful experience. 4-6 weeks of video-watching... just get through it asap.. you'll forget (not need) anyway most of it.
