Pros

team members are smart and helpful

Cons

unlimited time off is a bit of a scam to not payout on your PTO when you leave, they misclassify their solutions engineers as exempt on the West Coast and the time commitment is high, so you lose out on a ton of overtime. much of the manageme is inexperienced

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
