Pros
- Great culture across the company. Unique in our approach around diversity and inclusion - Best sales leadership experience I've had in my 15 years of selling. - Ramp and quota are realistic and attainable. - We have a 10,000,000+ user community who are passionate about GitHub. Growing by 10,000 - 15,000 users per day. Understatement here but this helps you sell when you get in the room. - Awesome people. - Engineering, Support and SEs are extremely helpful and actively contribute to the sales process. - Great work/life balance. I have a young family and my spouse works full time. We are able to balance our responsibilities better than any other environment I've had a chance to work in before. I work a lot but it does not impact my excitement for the job or my priorities around family/friends.
Cons
- GitHub has been around for several years but sales as a structured group was just created a couple quarters back. While we are crushing our # it is going to take us a while to build out process and have enough data to fully understand our business. - I have not seen it yet but I am sure many of the typical growing pains will arise in a young, growing sales organization.
