Pros

Amazing coworkers and team so far, high energy environment, really cool office in a great location and cool perks. LA office is brand new so feels like you are directly responsible for day-to-day growth and change. Get to work immediately under Director which is helpful when he's available. A lot of responsibility and autonomy early on and easy to see the growth opportunity.

Cons

Definitely a lot of work though still early in the role - kind of left to your own after training to learn product and process. Start up environment so some simple things like getting computer set up are still disorganized. Director is spread thin, which can be challenging for newer hires, but makes an effort to be available and seems to really want to support the team and everyone to succeed. Talking to other reps seems like first few months are tough but it smooths out quickly

Pros

-good amount of responsibility early on, get to speak to C-level executives and speak at marketing events which helps you grow your speaking and sales skills tremendously (but you can do this in most tech sales jobs tbh) -nice working with people your age

Cons

-As a person of color, i feel like there was a massive lack of diversity that was missing, not in NY office but definitely in the company as a whole -bagels that are catered are always stale -executives could care less about you, they see you as just a number. Its also the blind leading the blind over there, just get new hires like a revolving door, like cogs in a machine -no real career growth, you can become a "manager" and do countless amount of work but you get paid peanuts for it -major disparity in salary even for same position -disorganized mess in terms of sales territory which cause clients to become angry when multiple sales people reach out to the same person -lack of inspiration in the company or transparency -the marketing team makes AEs do their job for them

Pros

-Ability to communicate directly with the CEOs and executive team even from an entry-level role -Management now receptive to company culture issues and trying to improve -The product is an unmatchable AI-security solution pioneering the cyber market -Massive company growth (valued >$1B in 5 years) -Young, bright-minded employees -Commission potential

Cons

-History of poor management and lack of attention to improving culture (until now) -Layout of leadership for offices...the main leadership is in the UK, while other executives spread across the U.S. - makes it difficult to streamline objectives, clarify roles, etc.) -More focused on company growth instead of employee value -Low salaries -Lack of roles/difficult mobility (has improved a bit in the past year) -Benefits/perks don’t compete with other companies
