Pros

You can make your own future here if you are a bit of an entrepreneur. Since the company is still small enough, you can really make a difference if you bring the skills to the table. I did. But it's up to you to make of it what you can. You got to show some vibe, skill and enthusiasm. Since it's a group effort, people expect you to have a group mentality. Got arcade games, poker & drinks. Pool table coming up. It's an environment where you can say anything you want (trust me, I'm Dutch, I say the weirdest things)

Cons

If you are looking for early retirement with lots of entitlements, don't bother. You will have colleagues that expect the best. There are nice perks, but none of them are about slacking it off. Can be competitive but don't take it personally.

Pros

- Office is at WeWork in Santa Monica

Cons

- Parking not included, so prepare to spend an additional $250-300 per month - All leads are inbound, yet the leads aren't qualified and not enough to make quota, no one makes 100% quota --> Ask what the closing percentage is (~20%) then the total number of leads per sales rep per month... it won't equal the quota :( - Online scheduling is a feature based space, yet Genbook is significantly behind the tons of competitors out there, so you lose a lot of business - Genbook is more expensive than 95% of the competition, so without all the features, no sales person can overcome those obstacles - Base salary is considerably lower than any other tech company in the area - Main office is in Sydney, so any issues that need to be resolved take way too much time, which means you end up losing business. Not only that but communication is broken and management of the sales team is done by someone 5,000 miles away - Disconnect between the teams at the front lines and Sydney, so unnecessary product features are created by the product team that make no sense - They dont treat their employees very well. Re-neg on agreements they make and break promises of upward mobility and commission, very sketchy
