Pros

- phenomenal culture. people are genuinely nice and collaborative - great comp and benefits. probably one of the best in the valley - great work-life balance

Cons

- highly challenged business model. I have serious doubts about the company's long term success - weak leadership. Tim means well, is really smart and humble... but highly inexperienced and surrounded by so-so senior management - multiple rounds of layoffs has decimated morale

Pros

Fun office, snacks, good training, brand recognition, beer on tap. Benefits are great. Lots of young families. Good work life balance.

Cons

Monthly quota means never ending stress. Deals die in final underwriting all the time and there’s nothing you can do about it. Culture is now on pins and needles. Pay is terrible. As a top performing AE you’ll probably make 60k for the first year and a half then it gets a little better. Pay is way below industry standard
