Pros

Tech Pay. But considering it’s loaded up on, likely overvalued (or borderline worthless) RSUs, it’s not even that strong.

Cons

Executive team really has no vision for the company. All they care about, expectedly, is the valuation. The product itself, systems management, people development are all after thoughts. The worst executive is the Chief Revenue Officer Brian. He’s your typical big company executive who climbed the ladder at a big tech firm so has no idea how to scale a company, and he gives all non sales people tons of administrative work that really add no value. CFO is a complete pushover and has very little pulse on the org as a whole. CEO pays companies to remain on “top companies to work for” or “best CEO” lists. If you knew the real story how he was a let to start the company you would think far less of the organization.

Pros

The people are great. Good direct managers and team members that are all working towards your success.

Cons

Oversees SDR, support & OM lead to lack of quality and constant issues with customers and process. Constant pivots in account books, quotas, and KPIs lead to some AEs getting screwed with bad books, where others hoard good accounts. Inbounds are non existent and are supposed to be distributed on a round robin, but there is no transparency and a select few AEs have a significantly higher amount while others have none.
