Pros

Casual dress, free food/cooked meals, great benefits, fun colleagues, good learning experience to advance your career.

Cons

There is a complete disconnect with management. Most of management have inflated egos, and are unqualified for their jobs. This causes an extremely toxic work environment where they give recognition to reps who don’t lead by example, but happen to be reaping the benefits of a ripe territory. Management looks down upon reps taking their PTO, use scare tactics repeatedly, and will fire reps before even putting them on a performance plan first. The territory lottery is real here, and timing is everything. A ripe territory could be due to previous reps building it out, or a lot of business through the channel for that patch. Best of luck hitting quota consistently unless you happen to be one of the very few who were put in the right position. The quotas are unattainable, and they still split patches over, and over. There was a time where territory’s were bigger and the commission structure was higher. People joining now are way too late. I would stay away from this opportunity unless you’re trying to break into the tech industry, and you’re willing to commute to work every day.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
