Pros

Probably was a great place to work from ~2017-2021. Healthy office culture. Very encouraging and not cutthroat at all. Definitely peaked during the pandemic (2020 - 2021).

Cons

All deals that closed were inbound leads of course which you have no control over as an AE. Top AEs get fed deals and that's why they hit quota. Leadership was a bunch of ex-CareerBuilder execs.

Pros

fantastic team, great culture on the team, strong leader/director level and manager is awesome

Cons

lack of direction from senior/executive leadership results in pivots constantly. hard to keep up and it feels like we're doing the same thing over and over in 2-3 year cycles
