Pros

Great product, get to work around great people. Awesome office with top notch amenities and good benefits like fitness reimbursement and stock purchase program

Cons

Nobody and I mean nobody hits quota. If one person on your team hits quota then you're probably a top performer org wide. Unless you're closing whales (which feels more like luck of the draw and timing than a result of hard work) than the base pay is pretty weak compared to similar roles. Extremely high turnover and with minimal people hitting their number the morale can be pretty bad unless you are a top performer.
