Pros

Good pay, good perks, good product

Cons

Pressure to work really hard, goals that are not attainable with no real strategy, no accountability from leadership. Chief Marketing Officer has no clue what he is doing, and individual contributors below him pay the price. People work really hard, not smart, and the tone is all set from leadership. Lowest performing ICs get fired while managers are not held accountable for team performance. People don't take as much PTO as they should. Someone on the marketing team got fired for his treatment of women, and the CMO helped him get his next job. No established culture of feedback, especially from ICs to managers. Very sales-forward culture with tons of vaping in the office. I've never left a job so quickly.

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
