Pros

Really nice people who try hard and do believe in the company.

Cons

Icertis has recently and for good reasons seen their founding CEO and CRO retire and leave the business. It's a sad state of affairs but Icertis became too comfortable with their early success. In a market where there once was five - seven years ago limited competition, it was easy to name their price. But, with the age of AI/ML Intelligence many other companies offer a similar solution and for less money. Icertis leadership for years just did not care about the competition that have finally caught up and have come up market. We lost multiple deals over pricing. The most shocking aspect of leaderships downfall was the lack of focus on customer success. This is a text book case of how to lose your clients and realizing all too late the importance of customer success management. Complicating things was a culture mismatch that still exists today with a mostly top down engineering led culture based out of India that has no clue how to sell or win competitive deals. Icertis has lost some great people and all of us that know better are not sticking around. Don't let anyone fool you on the myth of them going public because it will never happen. The current leadership is hanging around for the dream of a big payout that is not coming. Client attrition, win rates, and sellers actually attaining quotas are not in a good place. If you're looking for a position in the CLM industry you could do much better.

Pros

My journey with Icertis has been nothing short of extraordinary. I left the company and returned after gaining an even deeper appreciation for the incredible people, vibrant corporate culture, and promising market opportunities. I continue to witness Icertis transform from an early-stage startup to a more mature, global market leader.

Cons

The work environment can be fast-paced and demanding, but I've seen similar expectations in other high-tech companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, SAP and multiple Services providers.

Pros

There are a handful of good people to work with,

Cons

The Executive Leadership Team. Even though Samir has stepped back as CEO, he is still silently making all decisions. The others are told what to do, what to say, and who to protect. Icertis is a long way from going public. They need to learn that you cannot book and report future revenue on deals to investors that have outs in the agreements - ie. TFC. Executives high five one another and report these sales to investors while the pre-sales, sales teams, and others do not get paid until the customer agrees to remove the language. Good luck since there are deployment challenge's. This happens every quarter. They will deny deny deny, but the facts are the facts. Many leaders record these calls and snap pictures of emails with their phones since Icertis controls what you can save, print, etc. And, next to no women in leadership roles. Non-existent. They either quit or were laid off.
