Great Sales Culture and Growing Conservatively

Account executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone is hitting their numbers and management genuinely want people to succeed. There has been a very careful and thoughtful approach to scaling to ensure that reps are successful. Internal promotion is really common place here with training being a huge priority with a sales team of this size. Really solid sales culture without bro culture defining everything.

Cons

Not a ton of cons, but more so hopes for the future as the team grows. Need a better way of defining territories. Total addressable market isn't clearly defined, so there are a couple patches that are really inflated. Need to make sure with all the success that the team stays hungry. Can seem pretty lackadaisical sometimes.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to work! Fast growing business and exciting market opportunity. Opportunity to sell a product with a clearly demonstrable and easily recognizable value. Excellent leadership on both the go-to market and technical teams. The level of cross-organizational transparency is awesome.

Cons

It is difficult for internal processes and supporting mechanisms to keep up with the growth of the business. This is a common challenge at high growth companies. I'm confident that leadership is focused on the right areas to make us successful.
