Be cautious if joining in sales - ESM bei DataStax: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Be cautious if joining in a sales role as the ESM/AVP, SVP turnover is eye watering. The product is solid but there is emergent and growing competition across open-source, NoSql and Graph and I'm not sure if the management recognises this. Whilst there are significant issues with marketing, lead generation etc the ESM's bear the brunt of the criticism by a sales leadership that is distant from the real world. The comm plan is average and the targets very high. Very poor hiring decisions have badly affected morale.
