      Terrible pay, micro managers, and culture issues

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stock options. May be too late now but that was the biggest positive joining pre-IPO. Great benefits as well.

      Cons

      - management is clueless. Preach the same concepts over and over again without applying practice and offering real-time guidance - a lot of micromanagers who want to watch you clock in and clock out of work. Zero trust and confidence in the folks they hire - retention was worst I’ve seen at any company - ROE and internal bureaucracy was very bad. Not set up for it to be equitable for even 20% of reps. Need a lot of luck - pay was awful. Not even close to being competitive in the current market. Stock options were good but doesn’t make up for poor base and variable. - a lot of talk and no action. Management used to say “changes are coming” and there was never any follow up

      Great company, great team, lots of opportunities

      Technical account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay Good managers TAM role is challenging with a lot of opportunities to learn Start up feel: you can take on projects, try new things etc. Independence/flexibility with your schedule and approach No day is the same There are tons of opportunities to built out systems to help scale the team

      Cons

      Start up feel also means a bit of a lack of structure No 401k matching The scope of the job is broad
