Pros

Great coworkers, free lunch, fun office

Cons

There's really not much of an opportunity to move up at this point. Leadership will promise a promo track of 12 months then do everything in their power to keep in in your current role. Quotas are too high and SDR management knows it, but wont go to bat for you. Its a great place to start off and get some experience, but the ship has sailed for anyone looking to have a long-term sales career. Oh and if you do make it to an AE role you might get "laid off" due to performance with 0 conversations about it prior, then ghosted by management

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
