Pros

- The product works and everyone needs it. The market is hot and Varonis has a unique, well-engineering suite of products. Almost every single prospect sees the value. - I found compensation to be at or slightly above the market. Other than PTO which is pretty weak, the benefits are the best I've had in my career. - During the hiring process, the 5 or 6 people I spoke with were all very forthcoming and seemed honest. After coming on board, I sense a lot of integrity among my coworkers. - As a sales engineer, you're asked to own a lot of the sales process. I wasn't used to this, and thought about listing it as a con, but it's actually interesting and has been great for my professional development. - Working remotely is great and there are LOTS of internal resources and support.

Cons

- Ramp up was stressful. Expectations are very high and the demands of training easily outpaced the hours in the day. For a few months, I was working more hours than I was comfortable with to keep up. It has evened out a bit, but the pace still feels breakneck a lot of the time. - As others have noted, the company is obsessed with metrics and rolling up reports. There have been days where I've spent hours on internal reports, sometimes updating the same information in multiple places. You are expected to be hyper-organized but the tools and processes (CRM) don't make it easy.

5 days in office unless at 100 percent quota then get 1 remote day, changing quota/commission requirements alittle too often

Pros

Benefits are great, random gifts throughout the year, top notch team support

Cons

Company is so compartmentalized no one team has any idea of what is going on with another, which is specifically frustrating when it comes to pay/commission. They keep purchasing other companies without properly integrating into the existing product and have to basically re-invent how to use the full potential of said product to interact with what they already have, leaving a lot to be desired. Hiring new positions with specific goals in mind, but have the same title so are treated the same when it comes to OTE creating a substantial pay cut. Especially when they are brought in to make certain parts of the team and product better.
