Great people to work with Interesting technical product Good work life balance Competent leadership

Cons

Lack 401k match /benefits cut is a joke Even as a high performer raises don’t keep up with cost of living Don’t feel appreciated by the company at large, finance has too much of a vice grip on the company, raises are poor and travel to meet as a team in person is rare

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
