Pros

-Lot's of autonomy if you "Earn Trust" -Learn lots, work with smart people -Comp is great

Cons

-RTO sucks, but no one seems to notice if you need to work from home every now and then. -Since 2023, it's gotten very hard to get promoted -Some teams have terrible cultures/WLB. Really depends on your L7/L8.

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.
