Regional Account Manager - Avis employé Regional Account Manager TriGeo Network Security

As a SIEM solution it was a great product. As a start up company there was a lot of room for growth and to make money in sales. The base pay was low, but about right for the area. The commissions and bonuses were good. If you could do the work and produce you could make some very good money. Six figure income.

Management could be a bit unpredictable which caused a lot of stress. A new VP of Sales was hired while I was there and he was able to buffer a lot of that from the staff, which was a great help. Just keep you head down and produce results and everything would usually work out after a while. Unfortunately the company has been bought out and the new firm has a different sales model.

TriGeo was cquired by a larger management company (Solar Winds) who may provide much needed management support. If you are motivated / a disruptive force this may be fertile ground for new ideas and leadership. The SIM product itself has solid IP and is a well rounded user-focused system. It is not a framework-in-a-box like the high-end competitors and it's much more full featured and usable than the low-end competition.

The technology stack is stuck in the 90's. There are a lot of issues yet to be solved that have been state of the art for a decade. Management is not effective at mentoring or promoting leadership from within.
