Pros

Employee stock purchase program is great.

Cons

This was one of the most toxic sales cultures I’ve experienced. Management creates an environment where you never know where you stand, regardless of your performance. Expectations constantly shift, feedback is inconsistent, and trust is virtually nonexistent. QBRs are particularly unprofessional. Rather than serving as coaching sessions, they often feel like coordinated attempts to find fault. Managers openly collaborate beforehand and during QBRs (yes, we see you slacking each other) to identify issues and pressure reps, creating a culture of fear instead of development. Account ownership is also a major concern. Accounts and opportunities can be taken away without warning, even when a rep is performing well and has invested significant time building relationships. This makes it difficult to feel motivated or confident in your long-term success. The organization measures and critiques nearly every activity, resulting in extreme micromanagement. Reps are treated as if they cannot be trusted to do their jobs, and leadership seems far more focused on monitoring and criticism than enabling success. In my experience, the company tends to hire less experienced salespeople who may be more willing to accept this environment. Strong, seasoned reps who value autonomy, transparency, and professional respect are unlikely to thrive here. If you’re looking for a culture built on trust, coaching, and empowerment, this is probably not the place.

Pros

Great first gig and awesome career launch point. Not a boiler room and clear concrete expectations.

Cons

You must be able to learn technical and also lead your own meetings pretty early on so if that’s not for you it might not be a fit.

Pros

I liked my team mates.

Cons

CS has a naturally difficult time justifying itself, so a common trap CS orgs fall into is to do activities that don’t actually accomplish anything. MongoDB is the worst example I’ve seen of this. Activities that customers flat out don’t care about are scrutinized in exhaustive detail by leaders, which naturally de-emphasizes actual customer priorities. The incentives this create are perverse. People compete to earn praise for their wheel spinning, so that they can stand out amongst a crowded group of peers all equally spinning their wheels. It was bizarre.
