Toxic environment with poor leadership and direction - Sales Kong Employee Review

- Differentiated product with a large addressable market - Elite sales leadership that brings a great blend of the disciplined "playbook" culture (PG program, MEDDICC, Command of the Message, etc.) while adapting to new market factors (new outbound sales tech, fluidity in sales process when needed, etc.) - High earnings potential; multiple 7 figure earners last year and company on huge growth trajectory this year - Visionary CEO/CTO combo - one of the first to market in AI gateway which unlocks a whole new TAM

- Implementation can take a long time and PS team needs improvement, which can hinder upsell opportunities

High earning potential. Product dominates in most competitive scenarios and stands out on the Gartner report at the very top right and leading the API space with the greatest vision. A testament to the CEO's ability to read into the way the market is moving based on his decades of experience and keeping up with customer demands going into the agentic era. Lucky to work here. The best and brightest in API & AI gateways are here. The pre-IPO excitement vibe is real here. Good coverage from an AE to SE standpoint (2:1). Easily able to communicate across the business to get help/answers to solving hard problems with colleagues more than happy to help.

Scaling into an IPO means things are moving fast so not a con per se but keeping up with small competitors, who are popping up quickly (but also leave the market quickly) as well up has its demands as clients are looking everywhere right now to survive and win in this agentic era.
