Pros

Very solid tech that is constantly improving and expanding Excellent onboarding and ongoing training

Cons

Zealous focus on metrics to drive decisions at the leadership and corporate level, even when in direct contrast to common sense assessment of what is happening in the specific local market. Arrogance with the Operations (Deal Desk and Legal) side of the house that can make it challenging to get Enterprise deals done.

Pros

Good perks, cool office, great tech

Cons

The perks are there to keep people in office longer. Upper level staff is not kind, wishy washy, creates unnecessary obstacles.

Pros

- Well known company with good reputation - A lot of opportunity to travel, network, and build skills - Free lunches and in office perks

Cons

- Underpaid and compensation structure is not aligned with the role. In reality CSM's are also AM's without commission - Little to no chance of significant career growth - Management is typically hired externally and provides little to no support to CSMs, mainly there for reporting and enforcing changes
