A lot of freedom if you are hitting your numbers.

Good stepping stone, Not a career destination

Sales

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great technology. Health care is amazing. Fully paid and top of the line coverage. Given opportunity to learn business and work deals early. If you can have tough skin here for at least 1-2 years, you can find great career opportunities at other companies with great culture that will pay you significantly more.

Cons

A leadership style that does not produce high morale culture. There is no training for leaders. If you are a high performer, you’re made a team lead or Director and are expected to make your team perform like you did. This never works and causes teams to burn out quickly. Most of the employees leaving 6-9months after onboarding are leaving because of inexperienced managers running them into the ground. No transparency, culture is very secretive. Not really an innovative company even though that’s the way they promote themselves. They do things like all the traditional companies “my way or the Highway” Doesn’t seem to be interested in developing their people. Seems unbothered by the fact that 50% of their new hires leave within six months of being hired.
