Pros

The product is fantastic! It truly did make my workday more efficient, and the sales team uses what they sell, which makes them truly able to know all the ins and outs of the product.

Cons

In the interview process I was told: -people don't get fired (I saw 4 people fired before/with me in less than 3 months) -most reps hit quota (Very rarely- some do, but it's a testament to them working 11-12 hour days) -there are a plethora of good inbound leads (very rare, and depends on which market segment you get) -there would be three SDRS promoted within the next four months (Nope) -there was ongoing training and development. (This was a weekly meeting that had no training from management) I wanted to love this, but anytime there were problems, management would say "that part of being a series A" rather than actually going to resolve the issue or take responsibility for things like: no leads for weeks. I was told to do outbound, but not given enough time for an outbound effort to result in deals (we all know it takes 8-11 touches to get a response) This place is toxic. It made me feel like I should leave sales, and now I'm at another company literally blowing my quota out of the water, without being pressured tot work 12 hours a day cold calling VPs of Sales who don't know what your product is.

My sincerest apologies this was your experience at Mixmax. While I agree with you we are still a young company finding our way and clearly didn't have everything perfectly ironed out during your time here. I will say, we had to make some necessary changes in a short period of time to move the business in the right direction. Obviously you were here during these changes so again, apologize it didn't go as smooth as it could have. Changes have been made and am happy to report, the team is on target to hit Q1 revenue targets - 2 SDR' have been promoted with timelines for 2 more to move up, training is still a work in progress and getting better and inbound lead flow is working as it should. Simply takes time to build a business and get everything to operate as it should. I sincerely appreciate the input and will make sure to be abundantly clear to all individuals wanting to join this rocket ship.

Pros

Excellent company culture with a strong focus on making remote work truly effective. The team puts real effort into supporting distributed employees, and collaboration is easy—colleagues are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Project planning is consistently thorough and well-organized, regardless of scope, with stable priorities and realistic timelines. The company also has a clear long-term vision and direction.

Cons

No real cons that are specific to the company, only a bit harder to work because of different timezones since employees are from all around the world.

Pros

Refreshing, genuinely AI-forward mindset — not in a “we have all the answers” way, but in a thoughtful, exploratory approach to new ways of working and what they mean for both the business and customers. The team has significant depth and experience, and discussions are grounded, practical, and forward-looking.

Cons

I’m still fairly new and don’t see any meaningful downsides so far. Onboarding was fast and intentionally optimized for early impact, which may feel intense for some, but worked well for me.
