Pros

- Product is well developed and much better than the competition - benefits are good - CEO is thoughtful and well-intentioned - strong investment in the company and board members - Experiencing crazy growth - relatively achievable quotas

Cons

- It's a call center for lack of a better term. - your sales activity is micro-managed by managers - managers are sticklers about arriving on time (by the second) so that they can get you promoted and then leave early and go play golf with each other - not great coaching or sales development in terms of training - no team-building events despite the companies massive success - it's a bro culture to the fullest and no diversity - OTE is way below market - they sell you on over attainment and raise quotas every single quarter - people can be subjectively PIPed. A rep on my team had never missed quota, but because his pipeline generation wasn't to their liking they PIPed him

Not a lot of growth opportunities

Pros

Great benefits, humble executives who know what they’re doing, mostly friendly people, extremely fast growth.

Cons

Seems they don’t like to hire internally for positions. Hard to move up and hard to switch teams. Some of the management have high egos and belittle people below them. Will work well for you if you’re careful about what you say and know how to climb the corporate latter/ deal with corporate bs. This may mean knocking people out of your way to get there.
