Micro management and a lot of meetings

Pros

hours, salary, food, office and that is about it.

Cons

micro management, excessive meetings, no 401K match, all promotions are made amongst friends internally, no room for growth unless you are with the in-crowd, pressure to constantly follow up with prospects with high potential of losing the business (and when you do, the manager blames you even though you were doing as you were told).

3.6 is too high

Business Outlook

Pros

Salesforce suite, London and NJ office. Handful of talented, good people.

Cons

Pretty much everything, it’s all gotten progressively worse. Not even the bot reviews can boost this disaster of a company . The latest review is blatantly false and appears to be written by HR (I wonder who??). Core values are a joke, a CEO who couldn’t operate anymore outside of these hollow words. A CFO who couldn’t be any less qualified, I will say the confidence displayed by such an unimpressive individual is commendable. A highly bizarre HR structure where they’re involved in almost every facet of the sales organization - no company I’ve ever worked at operates this way and this alone would be reason enough to avoid this place like the plague. Sales ‘leaders’ who have no accountability, a lot of finger pointing but no self examination. Cult like atmosphere that’s been mentioned in other reviews.
