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

The salary is great and the technology is inspiring.

Cons

There does not seem to be any consideration for work/life balance with some managers just saying get used to working all hours of the day. There is no bonus structure and no 401k match so your salary is your only compensation. Politics are playing a bigger role with managers free to hire and advance friends from prior companies. Diversity driven discrimination looks to be growing as well.
