Pros

I can't think of any under the current leadership, especially its commerce and guest engineering leader

Cons

- The pay is not competitive. - The company lacks a clear direction and only likes to chase "shiny objects" - One of the "so-called" engineering leaders, who has created a very toxic culture within his org and keeps telling people "he has been a very senior leader for a long time" - he is not, only likes to hire from Square and treats them preferentially.

Pros

Fantastic company culture and excellent, full support from a highly collaborative cross-functional team that genuinely wants to see enterprise deals succeed. Overall, it is well inclusive and supportive company culture.

Cons

Rapidly changing product landscape can occasionally make cross-functional alignment a bit complex.

Pros

-Strong pay (if you hit your numbers) -Ambitious goals that challenge you -Competitive landscape that will force you to get better beyond exclusively selling -Founders still very involved and very visible to the company and employees -Team cultures are always strong -For sales, you always get in touch with prospects, which is an underrated pro -When leadership promotes internal mobility and career development they mean it and support it

Cons

-Numerous Sales teams that share the same markets/TAMs. Customers and prospects get exhausted of outreach - Since going public, the goal posts keep moving forward even if 60% of the org hit goal. -A number of core leaders have left, new ones still learning the ropes which was hindering the orgs and teams
