The Golden Days are Over

Pros

. Great team members . Great for female contributors (the new director is absolutely focused on making women feel like they belong) . Great networking opportunities and events . Over average compensation benefits (if you hit targets, you can easily make $130k and more)

Cons

. Representatives are hired in packs which leads to reps that are hired together getting too cliquish. They typically gossip about others and intimidate new team members. . The new director is drunk with power. While he is making sure women progress with their jobs, men are being laid off constantly regardless of performance (about 20 male contributors were laid off since Jan 2023 while only 2 women were given severance packages). . Not much of autonomy. Quotas are getting much harder to hit and people are unhappy. . They promote a hybrid model of work but expect to go to the office 4 to 5 days a week - not really hybrid . A dude bro culture where white and Caucasian males are seen as superior

Pros

People are friendly and supportive, available to answer questions, decent pay.

Cons

Slack disguises itself as a great place to work, but beware because there's a lot of fake personalities. The company itself has shot itself in the foot by making it harder to do your job with all of the little details and mindless features, management expects you to put on a fake persona and email customers as if you're writing a long love letter to them. They spend too much time wanting you to like them and their product so much that they miss the point of actually listening to feedback from internal teams and customers alike.
