Pros

Great perks- unlimited PTO, catered lunch, fun young environment

Cons

Overall great company culture but very divided. One manager and team just completely ruined my experience at the company. She's incapable of delivering feedback without being downright mean, and most of the time she doesn't give you guidance. It's just, "nope - that's wrong do it again." Unclear instructions but expects you to be a mind reader. Shady mean girl type behavior and just overall very clear that she does not by any means know how to manage people. Sets a very toxic environment. There's very little room to feel like you can preform when management treats you so poorly.

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.
