Pros

- Fast pace of innovation which is very needed in this space - Strong and maturing sales culture - Highest pay package I have seen with major IPO potential - Thoughtful and sustainable growth (no layoffs, hopefully we aren’t over hiring, focus on profit over revenue at all costs) - Autonomy for senior salespeople, I’ve been working remotely the entire time and no RTO plans for my role

Cons

- Lots of hiring so we are still building and maintaining our unique culture with some bumps - Territories are not even and salesops decisions are immature (ie verticalizing mid-year causing major disruption due to poor planning) - Quotas increased dramatically (leadership very bullish on the product selling itself and needs to justify high comp packages)

Pros

Great Product backed by best in class engineers

Cons

1.Sales teams are total boys club mentality: Best accounts, territories and promotions are going to peoples friends that they have brought in from other companies, or to folks who have been there for a long time and are favored , any complaints around this topic....nothing happens they could care less. 2. OTE packages are EXTREMELY deceiving. Most reps are living off of purely base salaries as they have massively over hired and there are not enough accounts to go around. 3. Unachievable quotas-They change quotas at every half and higher them to ensure nobody hits targets. This leads to "desperation mode selling" towards customers 4. Sales leadership is aggressive and overly working the field reps with expectations, additionally there is no safe space with the leadership teams, if you complain about anything you will be targeted and retaliate against in a very harsh way.
