Pros

Generally the product is great, the people you'll work directly with as a salesperson are talented (if always burnt out / anxiety ridden), and the pay is ok.

Cons

Leadership's decision making is questionable at best. Lack of any transparency from upper management to IC. Expect to be told "assume good intentions" a lot. Very high quotas with a lot of racing to the bottom pricing wise. If you don't find your whales early you're in a bad spot. For folks thinking they can push through it, short stints are a tough look in this job market.

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.
