Pros

pre-IPO, great culture - everyone worth having around, they couldn't retain due to the subpar pay

Cons

- subpar pay for internal promotions - CEO is crazy, everytime there's a tweet, he posts it to drive people into a frantic frenzy - products are not fully baked by the time they launch - IPO bureaucracy is now making working here untenable - we proudly support conservative websites

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
