Ask in-depth questions to the interviewer and investigate before accepting an offer
Pros
CEO is pushing and inspiring people Working from home can be provided if discussed with the manager and given good and adequate reasons Base salary is extremely high (problem is OTE is not realistic)
Cons
- No on-boarding of new employees nor sales enablement for the field work force Road map keep changing every 2-3 quarters - Panaya's product went from modular, to selling it as a complete suite (that no one really used and inflated the prices), to pivoting to the testing market (still with inflated prices) Why? The testing aspect was the only one people wanted to renew, but because SAP and Oracle were becoming strong contenders in the ERP change market. - No career growth, empty promises that go nowhere - they promised support, plenty of leads and a $1million dollar pipeline. (all of which proved to be untrue) - Managers kept changing and people kept leaving - I have seen within the year at least 55 changes in management and people leaving. (Their best lead generator left) - Commission comp plan changes every quarter - Barely any visible marketing! Target new people not the ones already inside the database. Pending on region, there is no marketing at all - Highly political environment - No budget for training and self development
