      Pros

      Good product, that is the only good thing about being in sales here.

      Cons

      Micromanagement in the highest degree. Leadership has no clue what they are doing. Commission structure is THE WORST I HAVE SEEN. The difference in commission rate between 99% attainment and 100% attainment is huge. If you don't hit, which you probably wont; you aren't getting paid. Very low tenure. The amount of turnover is insane so customers all complain about having multiple reps in 6 months. We are flying without a CRO, likely because our CEO does not have any idea what he is doing. Reps are incentized to get their customers to leave g2 reviews, and rewarding customers for doing so. Do not trust the glassdoor reviews either, they want us to leave 5 star reviews to boost the outward appearance of the company as opposed to making the company a good one to work for. We have daily 15 minute stand up calls 8am in the morning every day on camera (we used to do twice a day until enough of us complained).

      Pros

      The people are the strongest part of the company. I’ve worked with talented, supportive teammates across product, sales, marketing, and design who genuinely care about solving difficult problems for customers. The mission is meaningful, and there are opportunities to work on products that have real-world impact. The pace is fast, which can be exciting if you enjoy building quickly and wearing multiple hats. There is also plenty of room to grow and take on responsibility if you’re proactive.

      Cons

      The company has grown quickly, and it sometimes feels like the organization hasn’t fully caught up. Priorities shift frequently, which can make long-term planning difficult and leave teams feeling reactive instead of strategic. Workloads can be heavy, and sustained urgency has led to burnout in parts of the organization. Communication between leadership and teams could be more consistent, especially around the reasoning behind major decisions and organizational changes.
