Pros

office has snacks and occasionally lunch from what i hear from engineers the product is good

Cons

Similar to almost every other review, there is a severe favoritism culture going on here. On top of that, the leadership is inexperienced, under-qualified, and to be frank, straight up mean. If you are looking for an entry level sales role, I highly recommend not going here as it is downright miserable.
