Pros

This is an amazing company with and amazing product. The only reason I left was because I was recruited by another company and the offer was too good to pass up. There is nothing better than selling the best product in the industry. This isn't just company fluff either, it's proven by a 95%+ renewal rate and being recognized as the clear leader year over year by industry analysts. The leadership team is amazing and they truly care, you're not just treated as a number like in many sales roles. Even the CEO is friendly and approachable. They even have the little things like a free snack program and free sodas.

Cons

The CFO is a little tight on budgets and they don't have a 401k match. But they do have an amazing employee stock purchase plan. They are in a hyper growth mode that comes with it's challenges but also great opportunities.

Pros

This was truly one of the most amazing companies I've worked for. It had a great culture and I felt like I really made a difference in how things were running at the company. Their product suites are among the best in the industry. Free drinks stocked in the coolers and lots of other small perks.

Cons

There was a huge culture shift when a major part of senior management was removed and replaced with an outside group of people. When this team came on, they eliminated positions and people and others quite as a result of changes. It really ruined the amazing experience that it had been.
