Pros

Awesome product Talented leadership + Peers Rocketship Great onboarding, very thorough Armed with great tools They really follow the operating principles that they post on the website

Cons

They are growing really fast, which means a lot of learnings can be missed and sometimes lofty goals come off as being set for no reason. Raising quota in Q1 (a historically slow quarter) and then cutting books in half in order to accomodate new hires drastically impacted quota attainment especially for the Commercial and Mid-Market segments They also don't track how long reps work, so when they raise quota or change account books, its short sighted and doesn't take into consideration how many hours reps work just to hit 100%
