Pros

- SKO in Disney - Company name opens doors at other companies/gets you interviews - a lot of social events, coworkers are great - benefits - generous ramp - training and onboarding in NYC - good company to work at for a year or so then move elsewhere

Cons

- micromanagement - pay is below market (base is low, OTE can be appealing but unattainable) - very little # of commerical AEs hit quota - No direction or support from management/not helpful at all - So many reps get PIPs so more fear than motivation, seems like a revolving door
