Pros

- Product is great and customers love it - Very well established on-boarding and sales training - Perks are great at the company - Room for growth into other roles at the company -Great sales tools - Great CEO and C-Suite with a lot of experience -Nice office - Marketing is top notch - One of the easier sells around

Cons

- The culture is non existent - Lots of cliques and talking behind backs on the floor - Promises get made by management that can not be fulfilled to individual contributors - Management is not the most helpful training their reps on both sides of the sales floor and delegates trainings towards team leads who are merely "favorites" on the team by their managers with no more experience/knowledge than the person next to them. - Management does not really take their teams input = if you are looking for a voice, not the place for you

Pros

It was an overall bad experience

Cons

This was a toxic place to work especially for minorities. They are currently getting rid of most people of color in the company so if you are a minority don't bother applying they don't want you. If for some reason you do get hired don't expect your tenure to be long. They only brought you in to satisfy the labor requirements they will find a way to get rid of you. This is a typical tech company where white men rule the roost. Expect to be harassed, body shamed, blamed for everyone else's mistakes. The rules are different for black/brown non Asian minorities vs white and Asian people. The good people there are hard to find anymore since this has become a company of every man for himself so don't expect anyone to get your back. Be prepared to have your work scrutinized more harshly than your peers and expect to see all the women acting like damsels in distress in order to make themselves look superior even when they are inexperienced and undeserving of their job title. In fact expect the undeserving to get pay raises and promotions while you get blamed for their inability to do the job. There was talk about doing unconscious bias training which sounds great but when you fire or force out all the minorities what is the point?
