Pros

They paid very well and had free bananas

Cons

Pretty much everything else. Much more than is reasonable was expected of us and it really burned me out. I constantly requested additional headcount for my team (for 6 months) and while my skip level manager agreed, he didn't secure it. Also barely any benefits aside from good pay and bananas

Pros

Challenging business, need to keep up with the tech industry. The culture is very team-dependent

Cons

I can't think of one. Perhaps - no free lunch can be one

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.
