Pros

I have worked for A LOT of companies. This company has one of the best company cultures I have ever had the privilege of working in. Stu the CEO is very much involved and interested in his staff. He comes around periodically and checks on how you are doing. I dare any other CEO to do something like that. He leads from the front and not from an ivory tower. He has a great motto of "Do it right the first time. Do it fast. Have fun while you do it". We are always playing games to hit goals and we have great fun and rewards when we hit them. The executives here have a "No door" policy. No one is in an office behind closed doors. All our C-level executives are out in the open for anyone to come up and talk to and they are VERY approachable. This makes it easy to get anything clarified and get help when you need it. Everyone here is very supportive of their other team members. It is not a culture of the sales team versus the tech support. Each one helps the other happily and willingly because they know we ALL win.

Cons

It is very fast growing company and due to that sometimes we are still working out the lines and how things will flow most efficiently. Because of this there can be a lot of change while it get sorted out. But it always does get sorted out. Plus we just have lots of fun creating the changes and how things will roll :) Benefits are good but not fantastic but I am sure this will improve as the company grows.

Pros

Great office snacks, free ev charging, cool coworkers

Cons

Out of about 100 AE's only 10 hit Quota, OTE is a joke there. It's possible to hit quota if you are lucky with your inbound leads, but if you want to hit quota every month you have to do something moreso out of the box. I was trained by hard closers and have a lot of expierence with cold calls so i came up with my own script and was getting a demo a day, and was doing a demo a day. The demos did lead to sales as well, so it wasn't a waste of time. I got fired because of a "lack of professionalism" I spoke off script all the time because speaking on script leads you in to the Kool-aid drinkers club, aka not hitting quota consistently. I was fired without warning, even though I was told I had an incredible work ethic and was exceeding the ramp-up numbers. I just didnt match their sales style, they are not looking for salespeople, they are looking for sales associates. They make you work 9-hour days, 1 hour mandatory lunch that has to be taken in the middle of the day. 9-6pm. Their handbook even says you are allowed to take this lunch at 5 pm to go home sooner, but the managers never let that happen. DO NOT BE CREATIVE AT THIS JOB, DRINK THE JUICE.
