Pros

I have never worked in a company where the CEO is so interested in your views and what you have to say about something. You feel you have a voice and your voice matters. It doesn't matter where you are on the org chart either. He likes to hear from his employees and regularly surveys them for feedback. He likes to keep things light and fun because he knows people produce better when they are happy. He gets into the game of problem solving as opposed to making it a serious affair. You always know where you stand, we work on continuous feedback up and down the management levels which keeps everyone on the same page. There is great open communication between executives without the politics making it easy to work together, challenge each other and come up with good solutions to problems.

Cons

It's hard for me to find cons since I really enjoy working here but I would say lately having everyone working from home has been a little bit of a con. We work hard to maintain the group comradery and engagement but it's just easier to do with everyone in the office. Also, it is more efficient to get things done with everyone in the office, with everyone living in Zoom it's harder to get coordination done.

Pros

Great office snacks, free ev charging, cool coworkers

Cons

Out of about 100 AE's only 10 hit Quota, OTE is a joke there. It's possible to hit quota if you are lucky with your inbound leads, but if you want to hit quota every month you have to do something moreso out of the box. I was trained by hard closers and have a lot of expierence with cold calls so i came up with my own script and was getting a demo a day, and was doing a demo a day. The demos did lead to sales as well, so it wasn't a waste of time. I got fired because of a "lack of professionalism" I spoke off script all the time because speaking on script leads you in to the Kool-aid drinkers club, aka not hitting quota consistently. I was fired without warning, even though I was told I had an incredible work ethic and was exceeding the ramp-up numbers. I just didnt match their sales style, they are not looking for salespeople, they are looking for sales associates. They make you work 9-hour days, 1 hour mandatory lunch that has to be taken in the middle of the day. 9-6pm. Their handbook even says you are allowed to take this lunch at 5 pm to go home sooner, but the managers never let that happen. DO NOT BE CREATIVE AT THIS JOB, DRINK THE JUICE.
