Pros

- Great benefits - Remote first - No real expectation of success

Cons

- Low pay (they attempt to pay as low as possible and hire people with no experience). - Extremely niche industry, cold-calling is essentially impossible. - Marketing completely fakes their numbers and information to make it look as positive as possible while simultaneously trying to blame sales for not getting 20% of the leads as handovers (they actually said people should be converting 20% of the coldest leads you can imagine, the team might be getting 0.00% - 0.01%?) - Marketing recycles leads and pretends they're hot. - Complete fabrication about the opportunity. Specific people with the best opportunity get almost all the real inbound. - Multiple heads of engineers have left the company, and all the founders have left the company. At this point, it just looks like they have been hiring to make an exit. - Marketing is in charge of sales, somehow. - ZERO chance of real success, completely fabricated opportunity. You are hired and will fail, regardless of personal effort or output. - Tons of gaslighting

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Your review states that you're a current employee, however based on the level of frustration you seem to have experienced, it is presumed that you may have recently left our organization to begin a new chapter in your career. Either way, it's unfortunate that you felt you had to post your frustrations here and after the fact, rather than express your challenges as they arose with your manager and/or a member of our leadership team through the numerous feedback channels that we provide, so that we could have addressed and resolved your concerns with you in a proactive manner. We recognize that Cloud and Container Security is a new and technically complex domain. We have developed training to help new team members understand this domain better and on-board but we also recognize that this domain may not be suitable for everyone based on their previous experience and background. We are constantly working on assessing this fit during the interview cycle and continue to improve on this front. We work diligently to ensure that our employees are provided a competitive total rewards package and we've curated a strong support network for those who may need some additional enablement in their roles, especially those who are new to our solution and organization, and may need a slightly longer ramp time. Many members of our sales team are thriving and are on track to hit accelerators this year, so it sounds like the opportunity may simply have not been the right fit for you, which we are truly sorry to hear. We are sorry that things didn't work out at Tigera, however we wish you the very best in the next chapter and hope you find happiness and fulfillment in your next opportunity.

Pros

Throughout the interview process, I learned a lot about the company's core values from everyone I met. These core values, including "respect, support and collaborate with each other", which really resonate with me and helped me make my decision to join the team. I've been at the company for about a month and everyone around me has welcomed me and helped me get up to speed. I look forward to learning and contributing to the success of the company along side my peers!

Cons

I haven't found any yet.
