Senior leadership is horrible and out of touch. Good products but innovation had taken a drastic downfall.

Best product on the market, but leadership is out to lunch with TAM. Quotas are insane and totally inequitable—great if you’re in a big territory. Leadership is beyond reactionary and some are rather rude. I made a lot of money when there was a lot of opportunity, but I’ve sold it all, and now I can’t make money.
