Pros

-Amazing products that are filling a need in the market. -Products simply work and customers are able to see immediate value. -Management is there for you. They plan on how they're going to help you reach your goals and provide you with the necessary materials to do so. -Companies is filled with hungry, humble, and helpful co-workers. Truly a team atmosphere and it's awesome to be around so many successful, down-to-earth people.

Cons

-Company holidays do not include holidays like Martin Luther King Day and President's day. You can request it off of course as there's unlimited PTO, but extremely surprised those are not company holidays with automatic time off (especially MLK Day). -Normal growing pains of a startup in hyper-growth. Processes still being established, standards being developed etc.

Pros

Innovative product, constantly growing the platform

Cons

Compensation doesn’t feel competitive for the workload and expectations of the role. Frequent annual changes—including territory realignments, account books, verticalization, and quota adjustments—create unnecessary disruption and make it difficult to build long-term customer relationships and pipeline. The company has grown rapidly, but account distribution hasn’t always kept pace with headcount, leaving many reps competing for limited opportunity and making OTE difficult to achieve consistently. The Team Lead role is one of the biggest pain points. Team Leads are expected to operate like frontline managers without the compensation or authority that comes with a management position. They carry a fully ramped quota while also traveling, mentoring new hires, leading office hours, answering rep questions, supporting onboarding, and taking on enablement responsibilities. While these leadership opportunities can be rewarding, they often come at the expense of selling time and make it significantly harder to hit quota.
