Pros

I loved the culture. I was there for 3 years and got promoted after my second year. You get tons of resources to help you grow. I was in SMB and went from Small Business to Growth Business. Commissions were uncapped and accelerated + they'd do different spiffs. You can hit your OTE number without hitting quota if you learn how to play the game.

Cons

I got poached and left but it was good timing - the culture is in the midst of shifting from more laid back COVID era working pace to much more micro-managing. The org as a whole was underperforming last year and so each month or so we'd get a new screw tightened - more call downs, more reports, more eyes on forecasting, etc. Overall you just need to go in knowing that you have a job to do and that's make sales. You'll likely be paid 50/50 split between base and commission, but since commission is taxed like 14% more, it's actually not that even. And if you don't sell that month, you better be prepared to live on half your OTE number as your bas salary. Other benefits are pretty great, though.
