Consona CRM sales - Senior Sales Engineer Consona Employee Review

Pros

Consona tries very hard to make it a good workplace even when working remotely. The sales team meets weekly and tries to flush out deals on the table as a collective. The management team for the sales engineers are very protective of their staff and stands by them.

Cons

They are very process oriented which tends to add more red tape when doing sales. This can be viewed as a positive, but sometimes it annoyed the sales team to jump through hoops to do a demo.

Pros

Consona has a great company culture, and tries really hard to make working for the company a rewarding experience.

Cons

Because Consona was a smaller company, Sales and Marketing could have used more resources.

Pros

Some great people from various acquisitions remain in the company and they make the difficult positions management put you in more bearable. Due to decentralized (M&A culture) many can work-from-home.

Cons

Company values only apply to the workers, not to the executive team (CEO is not Tom Millay as listed in this profile, but Jeff Tognoni). Lip service is provided about being Customer Service focused and "Customer Intimate" but really its about making the most money for share-holders regardless of impact on customer retention or satisfaction. Work-life balance is impossible when newly acquired product-lines are expected to continue revenues despite deep cuts at acquisition-time and regularly thereafter.
