Pros

Cool office with friendly teammates. Flexibility to pick your in-office days.

Cons

Wholly unqualified team managers, constantly changing performance metrics, and lack of care/concern for employees' personal circumstances. Work/life balance is non-existent. Workload is unsustainable. Zero discussion of career growth/progression.

Pros

Product is so sticky and diverse, tons of greenspace for a CSM to have success expanding and growing accounts. People, office, culture, and benefits are all great

Cons

Compensation (specifically base salary) could be higher. 18-month timeline to promote/graduate to higher spend accounts across the CS org. 6-month promotion window cycles
