Pros

Compensation includes reasonable PTO and base pay, with commission largely driven by meeting-setting activity independent of meeting quality outcomes.

Cons

The organization is defined by chronic instability, ineffective leadership, and reckless financial management, culminating in repeated mass layoffs. Processes change constantly with no strategic direction, growth opportunities are virtually nonexistent, and standard operating procedures are absent, creating ongoing dysfunction and confusion. Leadership is fundamentally misaligned with the company’s most urgent needs. Rather than addressing systemic product failures and operational breakdowns, executive leadership is consumed by micromanaging employees, creating a single-point bottleneck that slows or outright blocks progress across the organization. Decision-making is centralized to the point of paralysis. The company sells an unrealistic narrative to customers while relying on deflection, minimization, and attrition to manage persistent issues. Instead of resolving known failures, the strategy appears to be to exhaust customers until they disengage or stop pushing for accountability.

Pros

I really enjoy having the opportunity to travel and see new places for work, its nice to have a change of scenery every so often. Its also super nice that we get a wfh day once a week. Management is also fantastic.

Cons

none, I love my job here. A lot is asked of you but I think it builds you both professionally and personally and if you want the opportunity to learn and grow your skills I think this is a great place to do that.

Pros

The biggest pro is definitely the pay. The base salary is attractive for a sales role, and there’s strong commission potential (more travel usually means more demos, which means more earning opportunities) That said, there is quite a bit of travel. Personally, I love that. I have friends all over the U.S., so it’s been nice being able to spend time with them while on the road. After working here for over two years, I’ve also come to really appreciate wearing multiple hats. If you lean into it, it becomes a great learning opportunity, and you pick up experience across different parts of the business pretty quickly.

Cons

At times there can be a lot of change, which can make it harder to find consistent direction or leadership when you’re looking for advice. That’s probably the nature of a growing company, but it can still be challenging depending on what’s going on at the time. The office location can also be a bit of a drive if you live in downtown Austin. When I first started, I was definitely pretty stressed since I didn’t have prior experience in this type of sales, and the company was still figuring things out as it grew. But over time, that improved a lot — I’ve enjoyed the role more each quarter and feel much more comfortable now than I did at the beginning.
