      Pros

      Reasonable benefits, catered lunch on in office days

      Cons

      The culture is terrible, the targets unreachable, management is ill equipped. What inspired me to post this was seeing they are running ads on LinkedIn in Denver for this role. The Denver office is the worst environment I’ve encountered in 11 years in sales. From director down it is awful. Your leadership’s only concern is what you did for them this week, and would prefer not to help in any way, on any deal. You will get commission during ramp, but after that it is a pipe dream unless you suck up. In my year at this company, my whole team quit or was PIPed. After leaving, a full new team was quit or PIPed. I advise to look at the tenure of this role in the Denver office before ever even considering meeting with them. Churn and burn environment, with terrible leadership. There is no Sunday scary like a Datadog Sunday scary

      Toxic environment - not the same company I joined

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -High-performing, driven team that sets a strong standard—great place to learn and be challenged. -Supportive and collaborative peers who are both talented and enjoyable to work with. -Strong product with a clear value proposition and solid market fit—feels good to work on something impactful. -Fast-paced environment with lots of learning opportunities. You will know more than when you walked in the door.

      Cons

      -The company has shifted over time and now operates in a culture of fear and blame, particularly from senior leadership. -What was once a collaborative environment has become increasingly focused on cost-cutting and micromanagement. -Leadership—especially from the COO to senior customer success leaders—seems more invested in identifying who to exit next than in developing or retaining strong performers. -Earning potential is routinely chipped away through comp plan changes and shifting expectations, often without clear justification. -Transparency and trust have declined significantly, and psychological safety is lacking. -Unfortunately, this no longer feels like the company I was excited to join years ago.
