Pros

This company really cares about the people. That sentiment is really clear and is a priority from the very top of the organization down. There is a huge opportunity for professional development. People are recognized for their accomplishments and given raises and promotions accordingly. The company is extremely well organized and transparent. The executive team sits out in the open with everyone and encourages people to approach them and ask questions. There's a mentality towards constant improvement and a feedback loop. The benefits and culture are really second to none. They really make sure that all your needs coming to work are met so you can really focus on your job. They have a lot of clubs and extracurriculars so you can get connected with people right away. Everyone is really passionate about boba.

Cons

The company is growing so there are some normal growing pains like changing offices, desks. I wouldn't really consider that a con. The company definitely encourages a healthy work life balance, but you definitely have to get your work in.

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.
