Pros

- there are some cool people there

Cons

- I was an account executive 2 and when hired I was told I would be given a certain amount of help to get to Quota so I could have some work/life balance. I was there almost a year and had an SDR maybe 2 months. I would have to self source the same as people with someone getting them 10 deals a month. Discouraged to take time off till you hit quota and roughly 20% of people actually hit it a month WITH an SDR. After they started saying I would be disciplined if I didn’t hit i was out. They over sell the vision, you have no support and if a good SDR comes around you know they will be moved to a Sr AE. Would never recommend this job - also the just did a second round of layoffs, they manage a business about as good as the pac 12 manages a conference
