Pros

One of the best places I have worked in my 20 year professional career. I read some of the negative reviews and I can see where some folks are coming from but can only speak to my experience. Great selling opportunity- check. Support from all teams to sell - check. A collaborative culture - check. Great teammates - check. It’s a challenging work environment, and for those looking for a challenge and potential rewards, it’s a great company to be a seller. Not easy, but a big opportunity.

Cons

The challenge of trying to maintain a high growth rate can burn some folks out. It’s not an easy sell and you have to really put in cycles to be successful. Believe it or not, it’s not a sales-driven organization, which as a seller you will need to adjust to if you come from an org where sales runs things. Customer then Product then Sales in that order in terms of focus.
