Pros

-Good benefits & perks -Fun office -Cool place to be as someone early in their professional career

Cons

-Hiring the wrong people into leadership: too young and too soon -Leaders are focused on the wrong things, taking PTO was shamed and discouraged -Uncompetitive pay -Any struggles that were brought up to HR took ages to be ironed out. Issues were handled selectively and slowly -Nepotism & blatant favoritism -Genuinely weird vibes -Lack of depth & career progression

Pros

Good management. Fun office environment. However, the culture is a little bit of that frat/tech bro culture. So if that is what you are looking for great. if not, not great

Cons

The territories are not created equal

Pros

Pros Industry-leading product Strong brand and market momentum Talented coworkers Great learning environment Fast career growth opportunities Product innovation and strong customer demand

Cons

High turnover and low retention of experienced talent Only a handful of employees remain from when I started 2.5 years ago Territory changes and account reassignments Increasing quotas year over year Reduced commission opportunities Very little female representation, especially in leadership roles Culture can feel overly centered around a "bro culture" Leadership promotions do not always appear aligned with performance, leadership ability, or tenure Limited predictability for long-term planning and career development
