Pros

cool product, that's really it.

Cons

the product is good and the workload is fine, but the 5th floor feels straight up disgusting. You constantly see BDRs going upstairs begging AEs for favors to get their opps pushed through. If that doesn’t work, they ask certain managers to leverage their personal relationships to get numbers altered. It’s very obvious that leverage is in play. If you don’t play that game, you’re screwed. All the BDRs see it and talk about it. The whole environment feels gross and unfair.

Pros

Good people on the team and the ability to earn money quickly

Cons

The culture felt extremely toxic, with leadership often creating an environment driven by fear, favoritism, and constant pressure rather than support and development. Leadership and executives are in it only for themselves. Work-life balance was virtually nonexistent. Employees were regularly expected to work holidays, often staying until 10 or 11 PM with little appreciation or recognition for the sacrifice. Long hours became the expectation rather than the exception. I was also disappointed by how customers were treated. There was often a significant disconnect between what was promised and what was actually delivered, and many decisions seemed focused on short-term gains instead of creating a positive customer experience. Behind the scenes, there were practices and conversations that made me uncomfortable and did not align with the level of transparency and professionalism I would expect from a company. The turnover was high, morale was low, and many employees seemed burned out. While there are some good people working there, the overall environment made it difficult to feel valued or optimistic about the future.
