Pros

Selling market leading products in the R&D SMB space.

Cons

Autonomy over alignment is breaking at scale Sales training non-existent, or left in the hands of managers who have 0 time. Variable compensation is an absolute joke. Don’t get fooled by the RSU piece; they vest quarterly. You’d have to wait a year to start cashing out one quarter at a time to avoid paying short term gains Operations feels like a dictatorship vs a supporting function. CEO has a say in everything, can’t trust leaders to lead Archaic internal systems and processes slow down deal progression The comp plan is understood only by those who created it. It changes often. No one understands salesforce forecasting, or how much they’re getting paid. Can’t ask manager as they have no clue either.

Pros

The role involves a lot of repetitive tasks. Depending on your personality, that either makes the job easier over time as you become more efficient, or it gradually becomes frustrating. The upside is that once you learn the role, it can serve as a strong stepping stone to move into other positions within the company.

Cons

It's a repetitive, call-center type role. Once you're in it, there isn't much room to grow within the department. Most people either stay and plateau or eventually move to another department before the repetition and workload lead to burnout.

Pros

People in your class are mostly great

Cons

Technically I am a Senior Associate. Day before promotions, got rid of promotion to Supervisor for everyone. Demoted certain people in the Analytics department. Imagine working for a promotion for 2 years and getting great feedback by your manager and everyone in your class is told never mind. They likely did it due to the high turnover - many people would leave post-promotion for better opportunities. Regardless, cruel and unprofessional Poor management/leadership, large blame culture, poor pay w/ minimal raises, high turnover, minimal diversity. I know some women being paid less than their male counterparts. I know the Analytics Services Associate job posting seems interesting, but everyone I know who’s here is looking to leave because it is so toxic and defeating, even when you’re doing “great”. I would never grow my career here, specifically in Crossix.
