Pros

- stocked kitchen, healthy options - RSUs, 401k match, great health insurance - strong onboarding program, fantastic way to break into tech sales

Cons

- blatant favoritism, your success will suffer if you don’t fit their mold - accounts sourced are low quality, get ready to reach out to prospects who are sick of hearing from us for the last 2-3 years or are experiencing budget cuts due to the current economic environment. - leads that are occasionally sourced are frequently unqualified or outside of your territory, and must be either disqualified or reassigned. - contradictory statements are always made. They preach work/life balance but give you a workload that requires 60 hours a week to accomplish. They will say it’s okay to miss quota but get ready to be threatened with unemployment when you actually do. They do not care about factors beyond your control, only results. - only 20% of reps are actually hitting their quota. - high turnover

However, we are sorry to hear the concerns you've expressed related to favoritism and work-life balance. This is not the culture we seek to promote and are sorry to hear it was your experience while you were with us. We strive to create a supportive and collaborative work environment, and to provide our sales teams with the resources they need to succeed. We appreciate your feedback and value the insights you have provided and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
