Pros

Free lunch Great benefits Cool Product

Cons

I honestly don't know where to begin. This has been the worst decision of my professional career. Commercial sales leadership is absolutely terrible. If you want to be stalked and criticized all day long then this is the place for you. This is the first company that I've ever worked at where the managers have NOTHING to do all day besides monitor your calls and control every move you make. The quotas are way too high and that is probably why a large number of tenured reps are on pips now that they are fully ramped. The ramp-up period is a scam. In the interviews, they will tell you how everyone is well over quota every month when that is in fact a lie. The culture is terrible and it feels like everyone is walking on eggshells. This job is pure LUCK and everyone relies on inbounds to hit quota. The way inbounds are distributed is not always fair and accurate. Most of the people don't take lunch breaks and just sit at their desk from the start of their day to the very end. The work-life balance is terrible and even though they promote unlimited PTO it is actually not because the managers will deny you, even if you are at quota. Do not work here.

Pros

Amazing place with extremely talented and seasoned Senior Executive team! The most impressive quality of the company is that it is able to 10X and preserve the culture, not compromising with hiring decisions. Company is flexible to revisit and change processes as it is becoming bigger. Lots of opportunities to grow and get promoted from within.

Cons

Can't think of any cons - some days are hard, but it is very rewarding.
