Business outlook
Pros
Worked at Watchguard 5-10 years. With Prakash as CEO and before the board hired a new CRO this was the best company anyone could hope to work for in sales. Great products, marketing, highly developed channels, acceptable lead flows and quota retirement on total Contract value plus renewals counted toward quota retirement. 80-90% of sales reps honor exceeded plan.
Cons
After the new ceo took over, and the new CRO had to fire people to replace them with lower paid reps, and comp plans became too hard for many with new 30-40% growth targets, its bad. The CEO approval rating of 85% is for Prakash only, the new guy likely has 20-25% max
