Pros

free food, some people are cool, good parties for holidays/sko

Cons

- No job security: leadership will fire you regardless of being on a PIP or not to save themselves. My entire sales org either left or (majority) got fired during my tenure. There is no room for career advancement unless you are blessed with one of the 3 good territories. - Zero WFH leniency: doesn't matter if your parent is dying or your house caught on fire yesterday. You'll be in the office tomorrow, or guilted about it. Several coworkers came in with the flu or COVID as there was no option otherwise. - Unattainable quotas: the quotas are not set from a historical analysis of the territory. The territories are split geographically and there are set quotas across the board for all of sales. It does not matter if the quota in the territory has never been hit - they will split this patch down the middle, give it to a new rep wrapped in a platinum bow, and tell them to chase the "limitless opportunity".. despite there never being previous success. - Bro culture galore: the leadership team is enthralled by the bro-iest bros who have seem to be the only reps with job security. The girls that thrive are pick-me's. It's honestly embarrassing the way the leaders (especially the women leaders) speak with the bros on the floor. Senior leadership sees this culture as ideal as they dream of living out the life they never could in college. - False promises of a change of culture since the publicity scandal: misogyny runs thick on the sales floor and throughout the office. Now everyone's just forced to speak under their breath.

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 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
