Pros

Product is good, snack selection is fine and the offices are brand new and central located. Some of the employees are really smart and good people, you can make good connections!

Cons

Where to start? - Nobody reaches the annual target. 0/40 reps in Dublin. - Cut-throat management. Shaming non-performers. - Disconnection with the market. Some of these managers have not seen a customer in their life, they probably read about that on books or during a Udemy course in the induction training - Micro management. You will be continuously watched, as this is mainly the only thing managers do to justify they do something to the higher management - Not realistic targets across EMEA-US. This is the first company I've seen distributing the same targets no matter the market. This means the rep working in DACH, East Coast US, UK, Africa have the same target. This is real. - As a result of the quickly growth, it puts the structure of the companies on the spot. - No career path whatsoever - Meritocracy does not exist, not only for the sales team but in general. The closer you are to the management/Team Lead, the easier for you to get credit/promotion for something. - HR gossiping every day, starts to be boring even for the audience.
