Definitely Avoid

Account executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Very few if any. None truly come to mind. Traveling, perhaps? Do expect to be challenged on your receipts though. And if you want to travel, there are better jobs out there and countless of other companies you can work for that would give you that opportunity.

Cons

-Culture is egregious. When looking through LinkedIn, very few people stay over a year. That means something. -The beginning of the month you will be asked to go through every opportunity you have ever had. No notes will be taken during this time that you are also berated, so expect to do it again the next month. And you will need to give a range of how confident you are that your opportunities will close. This number is arbitrary but you will be asked to defend it as if there's a logical reason as to why you chose 48% over 49%. -No training -To investors, are you aware of how much a trial costs? Are you aware of the nonexistent due diligence in sending out an appliance? -To leadership, what else is important to you aside from revenue? It's unclear but blatantly obvious that it is not your employees, clients, or product.

Good money at a cost

Account executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You actually can make the type of money that they talk about during the hiring process.

Cons

It is a high stress environment and there is a lot of "trickle-down" stress from upper management down.
