Pros

Great coworkers, free lunch, fun office

Cons

There's really not much of an opportunity to move up at this point. Leadership will promise a promo track of 12 months then do everything in their power to keep in in your current role. Quotas are too high and SDR management knows it, but wont go to bat for you. Its a great place to start off and get some experience, but the ship has sailed for anyone looking to have a long-term sales career. Oh and if you do make it to an AE role you might get "laid off" due to performance with 0 conversations about it prior, then ghosted by management

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
