Glassdoor reviews are awful and very consistent to avoid Palantir sales. If the reviews are true, it feels like I’m falling into a trap. Does anyone have something good to say? Also- apparently when you start the first 6 months the pay is weak, ~$150k TC. But after that, you deploy and get commission and on-target warnings are $250-280k and “some really good people break $1M their first year.” Is this true?
They banned all the employees from using blind. I don’t think you’ll get many responses. Also why their rating on here is very suspicious
Wow that is very concerning that they’ve blocked their employees from using Blind…
Well, we're not banned from using blind, you just can't use the email verification method as they block those emails (have to use LinkedIn instead). About the rating differences: you're going to have a hugely different experience in Sales (relatively new, what almost all the Glassdooor reviews are about) and the engineering/product/BD roles (what almost all the blind reviews are about, and can be a pretty sweet place to work). Sales is relatively new, we said we'd never have a Sales org in past instead relying on engineers to sell, and reluctantly made one. We've had a lot more success with engineers doing Bootcamps than "traditional sales" method recently. Tbh no one outside the sales org really interacts with them or understands what they're doing.
Repvue should be a good source. But it seems to match you initial impression with just 19% of people hitting their targets: https://www.repvue.com/companies/Palantir Sounds like a shit-show...
Wow your post made me check out palantir reviews and I’ve never seen a company with such negative reviews from sales people. Why even bother? Any reputable saas companies will have reps clearing 1m plus a year. But most of those are AEs who have stuck around the company long enough to be given a great territory. Considering those terrible reviews can you see yourself sticking with palantir in long run?
The reality is I have no software experience and I’ve been working in the semiconductor field for many years and no other reputable companies have been willing to bite so far. I’m trying to pivot from hardware sales in to software sales. I figure this could help open more doors even if it’s a terrible experience. But, I hope it’s not.
