Pros

nice product and direction for M&A lifecycle

Cons

- the leadership team has changed for the worst recently and it is clear that the only goal of the leaders is to sell and cash in their shares. the CEO is about as distant as anyone can be and has zero care for the people. there is a horrible culture of slamming people and firing them.

Pros

*15K+ to spend with clients a year (dinners, lunches, drinks, events) However, given Covid 19 I do not know when could we do this again *Build a great network in a short time (Capital Market pros) *High energy and volume industry, good for highly energetic people *Great Customer Support and a well-known brand, which translates to less work for the salesperson *Best product in the industry and a really good bunch of people in most departments *If you are passionate about Capital Markets this could be a great introductory job

Cons

*Company and culture has changed for worse *Executives are focused on the short term right now (especially in EMEA) this cascades to all levels within the organisation (product, support, billing, sales, HR) *Due to Covid 19, there is no fun anymore as you have to work from home! Thus, for the next few months, we expect to have no exposure to clients *The focus now is on calls, emails and online demos (you have to log in everything manually as the systems are crap)... super micromanaging as I have never seen in my 12 years of experience *Compensation plans have changed dramatically "my way or the highway" .. forget about negotiating it (Every other VDR pays substantially more) *Best employees are leaving as they are disgusted with management, the new strategy is to get low paid junior employees (Thus the culture changed dramatically) *It is the most expensive VDR in the market, that was OK 18 years ago but now there are new players that do it better at a fraction of the price Overall, this industry will change dramatically in the next 3 years, IntraLinks and Datasite are trying to create new products with no market fit and are struggling to maintain their market share/price levels... thus, you better have a plan for 2022
