Pros

my team and manager are absolutely amazing helpful people.

Cons

There are too many to list, so I'll just hit the big ones--starting with the biggest: After submitting my letter of resignation, a member of upper management scheduled a call with me to talk about my reasons for leaving. After giving them my reasons, they spent the next 20 minutes telling me that I was stupid and naive and that my reasons for leaving weren't valid. After all this, they tried manipulating me by telling me that I would never find a job better than this one and that when I realized I made a mistake, they would welcome me back. Other than that, the c suite is too insecure to be able to justify decisions made for the company. no clear guidance on where the company will grow since there is a limited market. no one but the sales team is ever recognized for their work, the company priorities are clearly on feeding egos and not building a functional, sustainable business.

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.
