- Curious culture - for instance there is an intensely 'inward' focus and the primary acknowledgement of 'competion' is to deride it
- US centric - lags behind smaller recognition companies in terms of regional market understanding, localised product expertise and client support etc.
- Inflexible / slow to change - many issues highlighted (and discussed) 2 years ago are still challenges today
- Commercial targets for reps are outdated and when you 'dig' quite arbitrary - there are teams far less likely to succeed from the outset
- Comp plan (which does reward good deals) is far too opaque for the average sales person to understand even after recent upgrades
- Lead gen problems - SDR and marketing maturity, capability, metrics etc. is a long standing issue widely discussed and yet still way below par (your mindset should be: 'I need to be self sufficient')
- Extremely flat structure (in EMEA Sales specifically) means there isn't really room to grow (totally fine, if you are OK with getting comfortable in a role)
