Pros

Masochism Some nice co-workers and good product

Cons

The founders.. Targets changed all the time, comp plan changed 4 times in 2 months (obviously not for the better). In 6 months the entire management team (excluding the founders) have all left. Revolving door of sales staff, nearly all fired. Clawback of substantial amount of sales commission, with no proof of validity even when requested ( just taken from base salary with no notification). No finance team left, so when a customer doesn’t pay they blame the sales team and clawback their commission and tell them it’s on them to chase payments. CEO shouting at people daily, even to the point of bringing a colleague to tears. Seriously, avoid this place.

Pros

Cons

dont give you the freedom to work remotely even though they praise it on their webpages, management hires a lot of people and after a month fires them again, very controlling, if management doesnt like you, you are gonna be out
