Pros

It's great working on an interesting product with lots of scope for development and something that can benefit end users as much as their organisations. It's satisfying knowing that we might stop someone from becoming a victim of social engineering. Interesting people to work with and scope for personal growth and development is a nice bonus too. I really like the fact that you can grow and move within the company, and they'll consider you for a role that you work towards while you're here.

Cons

It's become a corporate machine and lost some of the defining culture and identity that set it apart when I joined. The corporate machine unfortunately brings a lot of bureaucracy into the mix and you can easily get lost in a sea of numbers.

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.
