Pros
Opportunity is abound here. The Business Intelligence space is a crowded one. Birst stands out above the rest for its customers and employees. Birst offers a fantastic product with a strong value proposition. Very passionate executive management team with a customer first mentality. As a sales executive, sales management is a breath of fresh air. The sales management team will jump down in the trenches with you to help you close the deal. They know the product and the sales strategy inside and out. In short, they add value, not overhead. We have all worked for companies that do not use their own product to run their business. We just hope a prospect will not ask us about how we use the product. Not the case here. Along with my Salesforce login came SSO with Birst Analytics. Always great when you can share with your prospective clients how your own product makes you more effective.
Cons
Typical venture backed, high growth company pains. It is difficult to keep up with the growth and change. The bottleneck is always shifting and you have to wear different hats. As much a pro as a con. Exhilarating and exhausting at the same time. You will either love the pace or hate it.
