Pros

Professional interview & onboarding process. I like the culture and how the company is taking care of us before and during the covid-19 pandemic disrupted our business, most of my colleagues are definitely the brightest and most motivated people I have met. Good camaraderie among the team.

Cons

Bad leadership: - 1st hand observation: Current country lead for 1 of the emerging country in ASEAN is doing poor job in inspiring and bringing the team together. I have been joining the weekly call for some time and felt that he could not earn the respect from his own team member. Failed to retain talents and deliver number for 2 consecutive quarters. So far none of his inputs had been making sense to me. - 2nd hand observation: He creates toxic environments to the team and practice poor communication skills to the team with dictatorial leadership style, leaving most team member frustrated and demotivated. He would put his subordinates on the spot during team meeting and would say unnecessary comments questions during 1:1. Company need to be more transparent in terms of the approach for the country model strategy because it puts us on so much uncertainties.

Cons

Under market OTE’s No RSU’s for sales ( unless #1 rep ) New territories every year so you can’t build lasting relationships. Customers and AE’s are burned out from starting over every year. Territories are extremely small so either you make great money or your squeezing blood from a rock. Favoritism is real. Micro management due to monthly quotas ( even though you are comped on a quarterly / annual number ) Management makes you “play the game “ and create fake pipeline to ensure “activity” on dashboards. Cap overtime ( currently told zero overtime ) even though recruiters include this in their OTE package pitch when you take the job. 20-30% less bi-weekly pay because of it. Too many products with Co- Primes that do nothing and get compensated on your deals. All you need is the Co- prime engineer to help. Too many layers in sales and management so it’s slow to get ahead quick. Average 3-5 years to get to next position. Every end of month is a fire drill. You feel the burnout during the holidays when you can’t take time off just to close the end of month ( even if you are comped quarterly / annually )
