Pros

- Onboarding and training is extensive. You can go in with zero prior knowledge of the industry - Pay is decent IF you are hitting quota - Peers are great

Cons

- Intense micromanagement (team leads/managers are much more concerned with you hitting a touch count than actually coaching you to improve your skills) - Constant shifts in comp plans / moving of the goal posts. You never really know where you stand in regards to quota attainment and you will have to constantly monitor your commission and argue for what you deserve - Poor quota attainment overall. Would say maybe 25-30% of SDRs were hitting quota for my team/office. Majority were at or below 60% of quota pretty consistently despite working very hard (again, lack of meaningful coaching and a cohesive incentive plan) - No remote work/very strict PTO (even as a top performer). Had to come into the office the day after Christmas when I was sick while my team lead got to work remote and spend time with their family over the holidays. Great for team morale! - Overall: Toxic culture stemming from the top down that is a catalyst for deceit, confusion, hypocrisy and tons stress. This is a great first job if you want to experience what it feels like to be completely undervalued by an organization. Other than that, I suggest looking elsewhere.

Pros

Smart people that took pride in their work, cool product market, structured responsibilities and internal processes.

Cons

Candidates, weigh your situational pros and cons. Can be a stable, paycheck job, but my take and experiences - Culture: 1. People would know an answer, yet tell you to ask the official "owner" of the item or task. Felt as if they didn't have time for you. Added unnecessary hoops and time delays, particularly for a company attempting to operate as a start-up. 2. Post-Sales (Customer Success and Professional Services) leaders were hiring new team members just prior to a restructure. The newest employees were subsequently let go when the Leadership team decided to fully lean in on a new post sales model. This presents poor leadership and corporate planning. Not only was it poor planning, the layoffs occurred between Thanksgiving and Christmas with a head-shaking severance. Was the biggest spit in the face I'd ever seen in my career, and hope to ever see in my career. HR: HR is very transparent in their engagement that they are there to cover the business. They had little interest in the employees themselves. Totally understand that is their job, but they don't even have a facade of personal interest in employees. This was noticeable while employed and after the fact. Benefits: PTO is well below industry standard.
