Pros

- Remote work - Good PTO

Cons

- Lack of communication within some departments - Disorganized processes - They tout "radical transparency" but that seems to only apply when it's convenient/makes them look good - Many benefits that drew me to the company in the first place have been trimmed or cut altogether - Pay raises and even COLA adjustment seems to have gone out the window - I used to love the daily briefings but now they seem to only serve as a way to hype the sales team which leaves the rest of the company (the faceless ones behind the product) feeling discarded - The "company culture" seems to have taken a steady dive

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.
