Pros

"unlimited" PTO (although grind culture is encouraged), lunch provided 3x a week, snacks, coffee, etc in office

Cons

Commission is not based on meetings, it is based on "opportunities" that are up to an AE's discretion if they are considered an opportunity or not. Bros help out bros. Those who are favored do much better than those who are not

Pros

Good pay and smart people.

Cons

Stingy about Job titles. Lots of people jockeying for position at the expense of others. False claims of bottom up planning, but they rule from the top down.
