      Awful place to work in Sales

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      They make the fastest storage devices, but lack the AI software stack, which is critical when competing with the likes of Vast Data. Many nice people at the company, but outside the Sales Org

      Cons

      Where to start: total lack of training. Everything is via video recordings. Onboarding was shockingly broken. I realized very quickly after joining that there is massive turnover in sales, with many of my predecessors leaving for Vast Data, who is the undisputed leader in the category. A few sales reps do really well, covering franchise accounts. But be careful joining DDN to cover new accounts. The brand recognition is non-existent. And the Sales Leadership only knows finger-pointing. They will pester you for meetings from the first week you join. Expectations were completely unreasonable. Having strong ecosystem partners is key (especially with GSIs), and DDN didn't bother with partners since its founding in 1998.

      Pros

      Great technology, industry leader and truly scalable solutions.

      Cons

      Micro managing arrogant co-founders who often rub employees the wrong way. Need to have thick skin as you can feel undervalued by them. Executive and sales management is pretty good but most often bend to the mercy of the co-founders who rule with an iron fist

      Great

      Business outlook

      Pros

      I work with some of the brightest people in IT, on projects with some of the brightest scientists in the country. Work really really hard for a year, and there's no ceiling to your success.

      Cons

      You cannot hide, you cannot BS anyone, you're 100% self-reliant.
