Pros

Salary is decent. Especially if you’re fresh out of college. It was 58k.

Cons

I didn’t realize until I left but this is essentially a BDR or SDR role except when you move up to the next tier you don’t really get commission like an account executive would. I believe there were bonuses for hitting certain metrics, but I feel that they try and present the job as if it’s something that it’s not. If I would have known I was essentially an SDR it would have made more sense as to why I was doing a majority of cold calling and prospecting. I thought of the position as something else and felt that my skills weren’t being used properly. There’s also NO work life balance. The expectation is that you stay on the clock late and work weekends periodically (if you’re on the healthcare team. As oftentimes healthcare is open 24/7). They also have “unlimited PTO” but make you feel guilty about taking it, especially if you haven’t hit your desired numbers. My training for the next step up was TERRIBLE. They have you train and shadow with several different people and everyone says “they may want you to do it like this but I do it like THIS”. Then when I got to my assessment I did everything how people taught me and failed lol smh. Never in my life have I quit a job without having another one lined up but after only 3 months of being here I was OUT! I had so much anxiety just even THINKING about logging in to work!

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
