Pros

Hyper growth company with plenty of opportunities for those who fit in. At a macro level, the company communicates well and says all the right things. Lots of talented and hard working folks who are willing to "Bleed Blue" 24/7. This is a positive, sales- centric place to start your career.

Cons

If you're a more seasoned worker, this won't be your best choice. There's very little room for work/life balance or individuality. Forget questioning any process or rule! Upon my departure from Cvent, I learned that they do not pay out any PTO that was not accrued in the current year. It was a nasty surprise that I should have made myself aware of before they kept a tidy sum of money that I earned.

Pros

Great sales leadership, great sales team, lots of really good sales tools. The Sales teams and AM teams are really outstanding, as is the sales centric culture here. Sales leadership is proactive, sharp, and seems to adapt well.

Cons

Pay and benefits are... poor. In sales they can get away with it b/c the culture is so good but for other things, the company is really just cheap. they lose a lot of talent b/c they leave for average salaries - Cvent is below average. Sales training and enablement is a mess. It's a very reactive team, focused on checking the boxes. They talk a lot about moving fast, iterating... but things are very slow, get bottled up with leadership a lot. Leaders in this group are mixed. When they are focused and listening they can be good, they tend to fight for their people well. But they don't listen a lot, mostly they just push for the answer they wanted from the beginning, and b/c they are trying to go fast, they rarely slow down and look at the big picture. Then when there are bumps in the road or complaints later, they are suprised.
