Pros

Decent pay but just like any other job, you get what you put in. Unlimited PTO and good location.

Cons

Terrible management who treat this role like you have a 1.5 million dollar number to hit, very hard on optics and focus on the quantity of calls/emails rather than quality. . Cool office with a bunch of booths and couches to make it seem like it's a laid back environment but penalize and shame you for not sitting at your desk. Frat boy type attitude and very hard to move up internally to the next step as an AE.

Pros

- Great coworkers (smart, kind). - Great compensation and perks. - Leadership genuinely tries to foster a positive and open culture.

Cons

- Transparency and communication about company direction could be better. - Company being so successful and growing so fast can sometimes result in feeling distant from new coworkers; new faces every week.

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?
