In a word awful. Very Machiavellian.

You need to look no further than last week's announcement of the sacking of Hortonwork's COO after less than six months to understand the culture. My advice is to look elsewhere, no amount of money will make up for the stress and constant nonsensical poundings you will take from your sales manager.

The pay is great. The sales management are idiots. I've seen three different reps on my team fired in less than six months because their sales numbers were low.
