Pros

Salary always paid on time, modern and efficient work equipment, English lessons provided, friendly and supportive colleagues, very well-organized onboarding process.

Cons

A lot of knowledge to absorb at the beginning, intense workdays, working hours adjusted to the US time zone (late evenings in Europe), sometimes fast-paced with high time pressure.

Pros

- Depending on the day of the week free Lunch or Breakfast - Cabinets always filled with good snacks and drinks. - Co workers have become friends for life. - Company Hosted Events i.e. Presidents Club - Promoting Synergy in and out of the office... right TOB

Cons

- Constant Change - Layoffs -Unlimited PTO, but in sales you can't actual utilize it. - Micromanagement/too many pointless meetings - Quotas are clearly set by someone who has never spoken to a customer… or used the product. - There’s a growing gap between the mission statement and the mission reality — think ‘Grand Canyon,’ but with more Slack channels. - Once a marketer’s best friend, now a lead-gen tool for the sales team via mysterious lockouts - and the quota is still super hard to reach. - Performance-based culture: where underperformers get innovation... in the form of new obstacles and the top schmoozers get layups with luxury payouts.
