Pros

- Overall good culture, great health benefits, good parties celebrating New Years, Christmas, Diwali, regular potlucks. - Sales management invested in sales training, great CRM and other applications to make selling easier. Always looking to add sophisticated tools to aid our work. - Sales leaders like managers and Director are easy to approach, colleagues are good.

Cons

- Overall messy structure (no doubt it has gotten better but still a long way to go) - No consistency across different countries within the region on targets. Don't make sense. Similar targets are given to all sales employees handling different regions and countries. - No work from home- not cool as team was told that work from home is possible before joining and flexibility was promoted. - Sales floor can feel like a call centre, call volume thoroughly tracked. - Yearly layoffs and reorganizations. - Constant fear that job wont be there if team doesn't perform. - Feels political- leaders from other team not happy with inside sales start up. (Kudos to inside sales leaders for rising against the bad sentiments though!) - Inside sales team is a good place to be but please speak to others before joining so you know what to expect in the country and region you are selling into. Some regions have a bad fate as compared to others.

Pros

Very flexible work/life balance--it really depends on what team you're in, but mine is very open to remote working and flexible hours. Six week paid sabbatical every four years worked. Unlimited sick time. The CEO and leadership truly care about diversity and inclusion, which is such a breath of fresh air when you look at companies like Google, Nike, and Uber that are struggling with diversity and harassment issues. Very engaged employee resource groups. Employee stock rewards are very nice if you're at a high enough level to earn them.

Cons

The company is very siloed and it's hard to get things done with other teams don't want to work with you or have no incentive to help you. HR has never had a very supportive model. No mandatory and ongoing leadership training. Many people in senior leadership positions get the job because of time on the job, not because they have fantastic people leadership skills. No clear paths to promotion in many orgs, which leads to high attrition in the bay area with other tech companies that are willing to pay higher salaries. It seems very difficult to get rid of people who just downright don't do their jobs.
