Difficult environment to sell in. Leadership very out of touch with what is needed for success in the US market. No enablement, sales onboarding, or sales process (no account planning, sales framework, etc.). CEO removed Salesforce + Gmail in favor of internal tools, creating even more resistance for the sales team. Pure hire and fire culture: team had over 30 US reps in 2023, ~50% were laid off in early 2024, another 8-10 exited on their own or were fired for performance over the next 6 months. Now they are hiring 8 more reps in the US? Don’t waste your time here.
