-The organization is promoting a best-in-breed product with continuous new enhancements. -Growth opportunities when the hard work is put in as an individual contributor. -Due to the immediate need for the product by most companies, the overall opportunity time to sale is quick, and there is a CLEAR way to hit your quotas.

Cons

-Stock options for high performers. -401k match further down the line.

Stay far far away

Enterprise account executive

Business Outlook

Pros

The product was actually built really well.

Cons

Selling data backup is more like selling life insurance, it's mainly fear based. The massive amount of inbound leads they tell everyone upon hiring is misleading. Also, the high closure rates are misleading too as they look for you to create opportunities when they are going to be won, which can skew data. Work-life balance to OB is that they want your work to be your life. People stay late on their computers on Facebook, just because they don't want to be the first ones to leave. The culture is terrible too, coworkers spread rumors and talk about each other behind their backs, this includes people on the management team. Very much like high school.
