      A very tough sales job with no lead flow whatsoever

      Pros

      Part of Cisco, companies being acquired to help the product, with promises of integration. Sometimes Cisco can help you get into the account. Nice sales process.

      Cons

      Mostly all existing business, barely any new customers joining. Many reps going quarter to quarter not selling anything, can be a full year. Really long sales cycles, really saturated market. Company overall is shrinking, and did layoffs recently. Company has a huge turnover, sales and sales engineering is a revolving door. Marketing is weak will provide zero leads. Consistent chasing for business, to even get a conversation started. Market is very saturated.

      Pros

      Great workplace if you want to stagnate the career Don’t want to do anything and learn how to blame it on others Amazing way to take credit of others work.

      Cons

      You won’t go anywhere. The current leadership is busy in making money thru their contracts and blaming previous leaders who built the business

      Pros

      - Leader in the APM space *along with Dynatrace and others who are catching up - Leadership team (CEO, CRO, VP of Sales, etc) are A-Players, world-class leaders - In "most" cases you are treated with respect and once earned, trusted to do your job (i.E., run your individual franchise, drive revenue) - Training, resources (SE's, $, marketing, etc) all available, there's nothing you can think of asking for that they wouldn't at least consider providing if it means helping you drive revenue - Work hard, play hard, realizing that's cliche, it truly is the case, however. You are required to work your tail off and the upside could potentially be exponential. More $1m earners than I've ever seen at a single place in my career. - Generally speaking, most people and leaders want to help and access to C suite, product folks, people that can help de-risk and drive a campaign forward are there.

      Cons

      - APM is becoming a commodity, with a race to the bottom from a pricing standpoint. Differentiation is becoming difficult to position and I think AppD has struggled with the messaging and application of BiQ. - It's still a PTC, BMC BladeLogic boys club - Feast or famine is pretty common. You'll either crush your # or struggle to grind it out to get to 60-80% ote. This is a combination of things but they have hired significantly and you need customers with transactional businesses, pain, etc. Not all customers in your assigned territory will fit this description. - Like anywhere, favoritism and politics exist here no question. - Heavy KPI, metric-driven day-to-day, I found this to be helpful but for many, I could see it being not their cup of tea.
