Pros

Many opportunities to learn and grow

Cons

Company is great to work at but when it comes to messaging about major changes, it feels cold. For example, they wanted us to jump on the AI train. I was one of the first adopters, got really comfortable with it and streamlining my workflows, and was teaching classes to make people more efficient. I was told regularly I was a top performer from my manager and I'm doing everything right so I should be safe. But I just got laid of this morning without much of an explanation. I'm locked out of my laptop and there's little to no communication to help me understand what happened.

Pros

-Great place to learn -Work with some of the smartest people in the industry -Flexibility/autonomy in schedule (not impacted by RTO)

Cons

-Constant reorgs and shifts in leadership: I went through a reorg almost every January and had 6 managers in 2.5 years. Inconsistent leadership makes it hard to feel aligned to a company/team vision or to feel supported. -Promotions are highly political and your manager plays a huge role in whether you advance. Managers rarely have career conversations with reps, which leaves little real path for growth. Good managers want to see their team develop and help them get there. -Comp plan changes reduced sellers' ability to accelerate and lowered pay year over year. Comp plans are dictated by Operations, not Sales Leadership.
