Pros

Resume-Builder: Great building block of a career step. Respected company. Great product: The product itself is great, which is the reason there are already so many customers! Rep Culture- They hire great Reps + fun people. Your coworkers will be the ones to get you through the long/rough days Benefits- Great office, snacks, bar tabs paid for, SKO. All the typical nice benefits that come with a Post-IPO successful company

Cons

Minimal Opportunity- Limited to around 50-80 accounts. These accounts have been BURNED by all the reps that have come before you, and you will not be allowed to source any new ones. Your account list is the Main factor of your success. After multiple years at the company, no inbound help at all. 100% outbound and expected to generate 100% of your own pipeline. Toxic Culture- Leaders don't really do much to help, just expect "Do More + Do Better". Weekly meetings mostly consist of metrics counting (how many emails and calls did you make) combined with how many meetings where set. The leaders essentially use reps as their SDR's and try and run your deals for you. Horrible Leaders: Leaders are all past reps that were selling during the pre-ipo times, where there was a lot of opportunity and accounts were fresh+ less limited. VP of sales uses threats, scare tactics, and more to try and "motivate you". He has the attitude of "if you don't like it here, the door is that way" Poor quota attainment: Quota attainment is typically around 5-10%..... No one hits goals, and the people who do are typically the few who are lucky to get a whale in a sales cycle. Leadership refuses to change goals and expects the reps to just "do better" The ultimate grind, with poor pay, and toxic culture
