Great people - Enterprise Account Executive PagerDuty Employee Review

It was a wonderful company when I joined back in 2017. Truly the best place I've ever worked for in my 10+ years in sales. People were helpful, intelligent, humble (including almost all execs), and driven. Benefits were fantastic as well, and pay was just under industry average but lots of room to make a lot more than OTE due to uncapped commissions. Execs were willing to join customer meetings even with smaller accounts, thinking strategically, not transactionally. I enjoyed my 4 years there, and while this review is extremely overdue, it was my experience and I'd go back there in a heartbeat if I were still doing sales.

Some things have changed since I left, but there are still many people remaining at the company for over 5-8 years and tell me things are still better than some other tech companies their spouses or friends work. PD tightened up spend to get to profitability, which resulted in some layoffs over the last couple years as well. Now with the departure of Jenn Tejada and new CEO coming onboard, it's going to be interesting to see where he'll take the company moving forward.

Colleagues are intelligent, supportive, and the workforce is very diverse, with a strong culture of collaboration. The company is forward‑thinking in its use of AI and innovation. Overall compensation and benefits are very competitive.

This environment isn’t for the faint of heart. You’ll push beyond your limits, and the work never really stops. There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, but it often feels just out of reach. One year here can feel like five. The pace is relentless, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The AI strategy has strong potential, but it urgently needs clearer guardrails. The stock performance hasn’t been ideal, and the company would benefit from slowing down to recalibrate. There are far too many meetings devoted to information that is already clearly visible on the dashboard. There are wellness days, which is appreciated, but the fact that they feel essential highlights how intense and draining it is.
