Pros

People - I have never been around a group of people that have as much fun on the job as this group. Great Service - with what hackers are doing today, companies need a way to make sure their employees are fully trained and aware of their responsibilities when it comes to security. Growth - Ranked 139 on the Inc 500 list of fastest growing US companies in 2016. Plenty of opportunity to advance and grow with the company.

Cons

With all the growth, it is hard to keep up with the hiring requirements. Nothing else I can think of as a negative.

Thanks very much! We will keep the "no-door" policy in place! In the mean time, we have moved in the Inc 500 to # 96. And you can ask me anything. :-D Warm regards, Stu

Pros

Great office snacks, free ev charging, cool coworkers

Cons

Out of about 100 AE's only 10 hit Quota, OTE is a joke there. It's possible to hit quota if you are lucky with your inbound leads, but if you want to hit quota every month you have to do something moreso out of the box. I was trained by hard closers and have a lot of expierence with cold calls so i came up with my own script and was getting a demo a day, and was doing a demo a day. The demos did lead to sales as well, so it wasn't a waste of time. I got fired because of a "lack of professionalism" I spoke off script all the time because speaking on script leads you in to the Kool-aid drinkers club, aka not hitting quota consistently. I was fired without warning, even though I was told I had an incredible work ethic and was exceeding the ramp-up numbers. I just didnt match their sales style, they are not looking for salespeople, they are looking for sales associates. They make you work 9-hour days, 1 hour mandatory lunch that has to be taken in the middle of the day. 9-6pm. Their handbook even says you are allowed to take this lunch at 5 pm to go home sooner, but the managers never let that happen. DO NOT BE CREATIVE AT THIS JOB, DRINK THE JUICE.
