Pros

1. These folks really know how to apply lipstick on the pig. (e.g calling themselves XM when its really a survey company) 2. Probably good brand to have if you are looking for jobs in Utah

Cons

1. its becoming more political 2. Mostly sales driven so anything to meet quarterly revenue...Rest of company is slave to sales 3. In IPO prep mode so no real innovation (basic strategy is keep blowing the XM bubble till and then half management will leave and then innovation will kick in) 4. IPO will continue to get delayed since CEO does not want to lose control

Pros

- Surrounded by some great people - Lots of autonomy - Free food, good swag, solid company parties.

Cons

- Mismanagement of sales talent has led to a shortage of experienced mentors and team leads. - Bad product-market fit in the SMB market where most new AEs will focus their efforts. - Marketing doesn't contribute much in terms of leads. They are mostly focused on events. - Really bad SFDC data. Lots of territory changes. Rules of engagement (how leads, accounts, or half-baked deals are distributed) are murky and ill-enforced. - Sales training leaves a lot to be desired. Ramp time for new reps is really high. - The culture can be culty. - Inconsitent HR practices.

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate the points you’ve made. We care deeply about developing our people, and are consistently making investments to improve employee experience. For sales training, we are always iterating based on feedback we receive and your feedback is helpful to us in that process as well. One important note is that we recently hired John Zorich as head of US sales training and hired Fiona NicChoiligh in Q3 2017 for the same role, but in EMEA. Again, thank you for making time to share your feedback.

Sales above all else

Pros

High hiring standards lead to amazing co-workers. Smart driven people on the front lines. Amazing culture, transparency at the executive level allows you to really understand where the leadership is trying to take things

Cons

Because of the executive transparency, it is obvious that the number one priority to leadership is revenue growth at all costs. As I write this we have 700+ sales reps to only ~350 engineers.....let that sink in. Now because revenue growth is placed of above all else, numerous unneeded stressors are placed on all departments: - Engineering is worked to death to build new features and functionality to meet the growing list of new client expectations. - Support has no visibility to the intricacies of newly sold, highly complex, deals which limits their ability to actually assist with client issues - Client success is forced into a position of having to manage client expectations of quality/value the product delivers rather than helping the client maximize it. - Implementation has an enormous backlog and pressures consultants to simply work more to cover the gap the transparency in TACOS is nice but you know whats really missing from the companies core values that you see in most other successful tech companies?: an emphasize on QUALITY. you'd think a company trying to position itself as a leader in product/brand experience market would understand the number one contributor to a great experience is the product or service actually meeting the needs of the customer. The insistence to sell at all costs, even when the company is not capable of delivering a polished, supportable, product, is the root cause of almost every con you'll see in every negative review on this website
