Pros

Great people and great CEO. Flexible hours and they fully support remote workers. Unlimited PTO

Cons

Constant turn-over and poor attrition. Disorganized sales org, no clear path for growth, poor enablement training. Having customers constantly confuse the company for Atlassian. Wearing multiple hats that you don't get paid enough for - as an AE, you are technically an SDR, AE, SE, and AM for each account. There is no organized structure to where clients move from AE to an AM or CSM.

Pros

Great product, strong leadership, and talented people across the organization. Excellent place to learn enterprise SaaS sales and grow quickly as an SDR. Supportive team culture, good training, and a fast-paced environment with many opportunities to work with large global accounts. Strong compensation and career development opportunities for high performers.

Cons

Since the IBM acquisition, there has been uncertainty around the future structure and career path for SDRs. Communication could be more transparent regarding organizational changes, promotion opportunities, and long-term strategy for the SDR organization.
