Pros

- HQ is probably the nicest office I've ever seen. - Young energy - Benefits. They really take care of you...if you're hitting goal. LOL if you're not, you'll be put on a PIP and you're gone in less than 6 months. No matter how hard you generate pipeline - they'll replace you with an up and coming AAE (which they breed by the boatloads).

Cons

Let me just preface this with I never missed my sales goal, but had to leave because better pay and the the environment wasn't for me (and isn't for most people). - TOXIC work environment. It's crazy that they don't have endless lawsuits. - They serve alcohol 24/7 (especially EOQs). It's a zoo for sales people. Imagine Wolf of Wall Street but in real life lol - Their sales tactics are worse than car salesmen. They'll end up giving 70% discounts at EOQs just to pump up numbers - which takes more off your commission and total revenue - There's probably 1 or 2 good, ethical sales managers. One sales manager got caught up bribing his client. A few of their corp and SLED clients want you to bribe them so they can have a peice of your commission. Again, this place is only for kids out of college and people that used to sell Verkada as an IT partner. If you're not that, don't waste your time - plently of 'actual' tech jobs in the bay.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
