Pros

- The people are smart, kind, hard-working and willing to go above and beyond to help each other succeed. - The mission of the company is exemplified in the value that our government customers receive from our solutions and services. - Lots of exposure to various responsibilities and processes, which helps people get a flavor for things they may not be knowledgeable or experienced in yet for exploring different career path options. - People who show that they care about the mission, work hard, and treat others with respect are generally rewarded and encouraged by management through career growth opportunities. - High expectations for positive results help people to learn how to improve skills, work more efficiently, and set development targets for personal growth.

Cons

- It can be difficult for people who are not used to a Sales-focused culture, as there is always pressure to learn quickly and show significant results early and repeatedly. - Sometimes the fast-paced environment can lead to mistakes that could have been avoided through more patience and thorough consideration in decision-making. - People managers may not always be well-trained in how to effectively lead people or deal with conflict appropriately, which has sometimes led to staff turnover or a lack of alignment within teams. - Long hours and significant workloads on individuals and teams has led to burnout for some people.

Pros

The startup-era culture here was genuinely good — collaborative, energetic, people-first. As the company grew, so did the ego. Leadership lost what made the place work and replaced it with a top-down, my-way culture that has driven out some of the best people.

Cons

I'm writing the review I wish had existed when I was researching this company. Not checking Glassdoor before I started was my single biggest professional regret. Promotion is positioned during recruiting as a near-term, achievable goal. In reality, the criteria are vague, inconsistently applied, and rarely result in actual advancement. KPIs are set at levels that ensure most reps will fall short — creating a perpetual sense of failure that serves management's pressure tactics, not your career growth. Advancement often appears less tied to clear performance metrics and more dependent on subjective favoritism, including maintaining close alignment with or “sucking up to” hiring managers and leadership, rather than merit alone. Transparency is essentially nonexistent. Turnover in the SDR org specifically is high and ongoing, but it’s never acknowledged or addressed internally. Candidates have no way of knowing the full picture going in. One more thing worth knowing: account executives are coached during training to post positive Glassdoor reviews. Please weigh that when you look at the overall rating. “Unlimited PTO” is also not as flexible as it may be presented. In practice, time off appears to be closely monitored and can be restricted, even for high performers, based on internal perceptions of fairness across the team rather than true flexibility or performance-based trust. This makes the benefit feel more like a recruiting talking point than an actual employee perk.
