Pros

The company has a great reputation in the market so it's not difficult to get appointments. It's always easier to sell a product that has a #1 marketshare.

Cons

This place is a nightmare. The sales culture is toxic. They don't care about what's actually good for customers, they only care about what's good for the company. Managing a global customer with a $35M+ annual contract, leadership REQUIRED me to go to the customer at month end and beg for $10,000 orders. How are you supposed to be taken seriously asking for peanuts like that? I could go on and on..... there are a million examples like this. As for management, I had 7 managers in a 2.5 year span of time....7!!!!!!! You can't develop a relationship or get any help when you barely know your boss. Management is full of micromanagers too. Why pay your employees so much money if you tell them everything they need to do? Go hire kids straight out of college if you want someone to "mold," don't hire experienced professionals then tell them how to do every facet of their job. Finally (for now), the High Performance Culture is just a smoke screen. It gives leadership a green light to monitor metrics you don't even realize you are being measured against. It allows them to fire anyone at the drop of a hat. I couldn't support any good, self-respecting professional sales rep to work for SF. They are truly the picture of corporate greed....they are the devil.

Good bonuses and benefits on offer

Cons

Toxic management, in particular “ML” her track record in toxic delusional & bullying behaviour is second to none. A Truly horrible individual.

Pros

work life balance is good

Cons

This company is 100% about sales and marketing. There is little desire or effort put towards building good tech. Everything is rushed, political, hacked together, oversold, and plagiarized from open-source or OpenAI. Also they pay very little in comparison to other tech companies. They would rather pay 10 crappy contractors $100K than pay a single competent developer $500K and that is why they will never be great.
