Pros

- The majority of ICs with 2 or more years tenure are experienced, knowledgeable, and stimulating to work with.

Cons

** There is no 401K matching contributions. - In my first year, HR degraded the medical benefits, calling it an "exciting new change." However, they ignored employee messages asking how reverting to our previous provider (which they had previously criticized) could be considered a positive change. They also largely ignored concerns about how the decrease in benefits would disproportionately affect employees with chronic illnesses. - Rampant nepotism in the sales organization, with friends of management being hired as seniors without relevant credentials or experience, while more tenured and instrumental employees are still sub-senior.

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
