Pros

-Great product in a forward thinking industry -Benefits such as gym reimbursement -Work with some of the brightest minds

Cons

Sales culture is cultlike and filled with false promises/transparency. Operate like a start up with the headcount of a large org - processes constantly changing and attainment is solely based on if you have sellers who are lenient and willing to help you out (good luck). They are forcing us to RTO 3 days a week just to sit on Zoom while leadership (Directors) babysit you by being dashboard hawks. Career progression is still being developed and piloted, and the process itself is messy and long. Everyone will tell you how happy you should be to work there though. The term “personal brand” will be preached at you to no end as a way to get you to do things outside of your job description.
