Loved GoEngineer

Pros

I worked for GoEngineer for over a year and loved every minute. The industry is fascinating and for an inside sales rep, it was amazing to be able to have a different conversation with every phone call rather than sticking to a script. Commissions are uncapped and if you have the drive you can make anywhere from $55k+ a year. Management is supportive, but for the most part pretty hands off; no one is going to babysit you unless your numbers are in the toilet then you'll likely get approached to pick up the slack. Energy on the team is awesome, everyone is buddies and it's not a cut-throat environment. You have the opportunity to go on the President's Club trip every year if you hit your goal, and in the summer they take the entire company up to Park City, UT for a retreat with breakout sessions, outdoor activities, and every night is an absolute riot. Everyone is in the company is willing to help at the drop of the hat if you ever have any questions, the CEO is super cool and walks around the office frequently and is far more approachable than any other CEO I've ever met. The hours are as good as you could hope for, M-F and if you're hitting your numbers, management is really flexible with you if you need to make adjustments to your schedule. Great work/life balance. Honestly can't say enough good things about my experience working there.

Cons

The only con I can really think of is that moving up to be an account manager can be tougher than you might think. Since there isn't a lot of turnover there aren't that many spots open for advancement, so you have to be a top performer on the ISR team to be in the running for that. The company has been growing a lot recently, so with that comes more opportunity, but just know going into it that if you aren't kicking butt and hitting goals, you're not going to be considered for a promotion.

Pros

Most of the people working there are driven and fun. They have something every year called "GoU" and it's a blast. Everyone goes up to Park City for a few days and the experience is really cool.

Cons

Very micromanaged and a lot of broken promises. Being an ISR, you are a slave to your job. The pay is not great and they promise promotions that never come. Most ISR's goals are to become a TSR (territory sales rep), but the company itself isn't growing fast enough to provide the territories needed to provide more opportunity. You find yourself stuck in an inside sales role, with little pay and no opportunity. Management keeps track of the number of calls you are making along the way. TSR's can make good money, but it really depends on the territory they give you and all of the desired territories have been claimed. ALL territories are super over saturated and bombarded with GoEngineer calls and emails, so most people are irritated when you call. ISR's are hourly and the commissions are low. I would say the average ISR makes between 45k-60k annually. I would not recommend this position to anyone looking for growth and opportunity in a company. As far as benefits go, they are great for the single person and terrible for families. People with families pay a ridiculous amount of money out of their checks every month for insurance.

Thank you for taking the time to give feedback. We rely on our ISR teams to communicate directly with customers and create long lasting relationships. They have a unique environment to learn both product and industry knowledge in a team-based atmosphere while considering various career paths within the organization. The TSR positions have had historically low turnover, which means advancement into that role is competitive and based on an ISR’s performance metrics, among other variables. Acknowledging that the TSR openings are infrequent, GoEngineer gives employees the opportunity to expand into other roles within the organization outside of the sales department. Those conversations with managers are always welcome and are initiated at the employee’s request. We also have been going through a rapid expansion, most recently growing through the Midwest. We anticipate this will create additional opportunities for our employees to grow by increasing sales and support positions. Regarding benefits, we are constantly looking at options to manage health care costs. As we continue to grow, our rates should decrease, but this is not a guarantee. While this is not a perfect solution, benefit costs are something we discuss frequently and can identify with your frustration.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to grow here if you are ambitious and willing to put in the work. If you show you can work, you are trusted to be autonomous most of the time. Work with some amazing customers that make cool things!

Cons

Sometimes there is not a lot of direction from management on how to do your job and you have to make your own way Heavily sales focused so if you're on that team it can be great
