Pros

- Stumbled upon the right space at the right time. - the company has been fiscally responsible and spent a lot less money than competitors

Cons

- The CEO is killing his baby. He has a massive ego and will listen only to a few people. He sees everything in black and white. You're either in favor or you're out. He takes himself a bit too seriously, sometimes comically so: there was a phase when he appeared to consider himself a Steve Jobs. - Very high turnover at the exec and sr management levels directly attributable to the CEO and his arbitrary decision-making. I can't keep track of the number of former execs any more. It's not unusual for people to huff out of meetings with the CEO or resign on the spot. - Environment is very political. You're either in favor or you're left out. - Work is intense, but not in a fun way.

Pros

Great benefits and great people to work with. The product itself is a great and superior product.

Cons

No training. No pipeline. No real support for SMB. You are basically a glorified SDR. Any real leads come from events or if you have good install base accounts. Hardly any good inbounds come and and if you do get a good and decent size inbound, they take it away from you to give to a mid-market rep. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. If you don't mind constantly grinding, go for it. Otherwise, I would recommend looking else where.
