Pros

* Genuine career growth and internal mobility – I’ve been able to move from Sales Development to Account Management and now into a new Renewals Desk role, with real support at each step. * Leaders who coach, not just manage – my managers have consistently invested time in coaching, feedback, and helping me think about the “next” role, not just this quarter’s number. * Strong learning culture – from product enablement to deal reviews and peer shadowing, there are a lot of opportunities to get better at the craft of sales and renewals. * Mission you can stand behind – it’s easier to do the hard parts of sales when you believe in making hiring fairer and more efficient for candidates and recruiting teams. * Smart, kind coworkers – cross‑functional partners in CS, RevOps, Product, and Marketing are collaborative and willing to jump in to help solve customer problems. * Flexibility and trust – as long as you’re responsive and deliver on your commitments, there is a healthy amount of autonomy in how you structure your day. * Visibility into the business – especially in Account Management and Renewals, you get a front‑row seat to how packaging, pricing, and product strategy evolve, which is great experience for anyone building a long‑term career in SaaS.

Cons

* Change is constant – with new products, packaging, and occasional org shifts, you have to be comfortable with ambiguity and re‑learning processes; it can be tiring if you prefer a very stable environment. * Tools and processes can feel complex – there are moments where systems and handoffs aren’t as streamlined as they could be, which adds friction for both reps and customers.

Pros

Learn a lot of stuff real fast.

Cons

Well, there are many. Not enough people and bonus distribution. Why is one team getting thousands of dollars in dinners while others are making less that $50k USD? Why was the term 'free money' thrown around? And then it's all 'oh no we can't afford to keep our engineers or hire any support agents or keep up with CSM pay'? I guess poor money management and asset usage.
