Pros

-A lot to accomplish means ability to stretch: I've done things here that will shape my career in the future -Products are top notch and disruptive, company is putting focus into staying ahead of the curve -We're moving into a new stage of our lifecycle as a company, so most of the risk of joining a startup is behind us, but with all of the same startup perks -There are some great leaders here that I've learned a lot from, and our CEO is incredibly transparent -Growing like crazy, this can be awesome if you're in a department where you can see a clear career path

Cons

-Still some growing pains regarding org + how we change as we scale -If you joined to be in a startup environment, we're moving out of that phase of growth into an enterprise saas company -The crazy growth can be a con if you're not flexible and can't deal w change

Pros

Great product, in-person office atmosphere is very good, great learning opportunity for someone newly stepping into first sales role from previous SDR position

Cons

Ran through sales account patches, below average base pay for role vs. rest of industry, can be a bit of a pressure cooker at times, high turnover
