Pros
Decent product-market fit (for now), Exciting start-up, less expensive than competitors. The sales reps are some of the best people I’ve worked side by side with.
Cons
Upper leadership is mostly concerned about looking good to investors. The VP of sales was hired in the spring of 2023 and the culture has been downhill since. Their goal was to look good with massive growth, so they over hired in sales. Rather than admitting they made a mistake with over hiring, they put reps on aggressive Performance Plans to force them out. Now they can tell investors “Rhombus didn’t have to make any layoffs during these hard economic times”. These performance plans were unfair ( territories got split but the quotas remained the same). The company would rather pump out exaggerated numbers indicating a productive quarter, than caring for the well-being of the employees. Every change in the last 10 months has been to the sales reps’ disadvantage. Upper management doesn’t care about reps, current VP doesn’t have social awareness. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone in the sales org that believes in him.
