Pros

Office environment, lunches provided, sales spiffs, sick product and engineering team, fast growing company

Cons

*Your experience heavily depends on your manager and director. Several managers are extreme control freak micro-managers and do nothing to help you, coach aggressive sales tactics, need to play the politics game to get anywhere, many reps do not hit quota, reps are viewed as purely numbers, no flexibility, must make cold calls all day to prospect, email domain deliverability is poor resulting in many outbound emails going to spam - limited to only 150 email sends a day, meta-metrics and favoritism outweigh closed won revenue

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
