      Good place to be if you are in good team that works on newer technology

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Work from home policy is good 2. Above market standard compensation. 3. You will get to work with talented team members. 4. Yearly bonus and gifting policies are good. 5. Few teams are doing good work using latest technologies and rest are just maintaining the existing stuffs.

      Cons

      1. If you land into some core/legacy products consider you are doomed, only bug fixing, production issues and small features. 2. Very old code base, where no one is concentrating for improvement and the worst part is they are using the same junk for moving to cloud instead of using new technologies. 3. You will find many people who are in the company from 10-15years. All this people concentrates only on bug fixing and enjoying work life balance. Managers focus is on them only and new hires are dumped with the maintenance and manual work. 4. Few software architects are really good and taking there product ahead like Integration Cloud, but for other cloud products the architect just talks more of business things than the actual technical design. You will never get clear answers that you expect form an architect. As architect is in the company from very long company, nobody can say him anything. 5. Micromanagement has increased to its highest level now, where managers are concentrating on delivering just features and not code quality or product quality.

      Still a legacy company, disruption needed in much higher pace.

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Base salary and commissions looks good on paper but If you do not get an existing or the right account where you know you can influence be prepared to invest years before getting to president club. Well known in the market with good vision on what can create value for customers read Gartner Forrester etc. I Enjoyed onboarding process. I have learned a lot around the challenges old software companies have in terms of innovative themself before I decided to move on.

      Cons

      -Not easy to breakup 50 years of German way of doing things moving more to be an growing American IT-tech company approach. -The CEO has some very good ideas but his ability to change and drive growth is limited by the current culture and the setup of ownership around the company and the determination to keep status quo. It is to good money short term to see long term gains. - Even if every one want to change it is going to slow. Extremely process driven. - Sales QBRs is painful and a lot of manual double work. - Engaging with internal legal team has been insightful. - 40% of company overall revenue still comes from maintenance renewal deals that is hard for customers to get out from. - Salespeople is seen as something necessary rather then the hero. - The cap on renewal/up-sell deal is extreme. If renewal team lose one dollar expect a fight. - Not to mention un-compliance deals that can hurt your reputation if you want come and sell something different to that company in the future.
