Pros

Good if you like remote work

Cons

Context does not matter for sales leadership. You are expected to work while medical leave is being processed, even if you are physically incapable for working. Leadership will dock you for missing quota during this period. They will give your future deals and credit to someone else then dock you for missing quota in the next quarter as well. Slow promotion cycles, poorly designed internal processes for collaboration, hundreds of slack channels, constantly changing initiatives, lack of internal support or resources, conflicting messages ("Fast and good is better than slow and perfect" > "why didn't you spend more time on this, there was an error")

Pros

- Fully remote - Mostly nice and talented people, you can learn a bunch and the atmosphere is good in the beginning - Once you realize you're not ever getting a raise you can get by doing bare minimum - You can write the ceo on slack and he will respond, which is actually insane considering its such a huge company

Cons

- Everyone is underpaid, even the senior directors. They present employee equity as extra compensation, but make it very difficult to sell shares at secondaries. - Raise/promotion policies are set up in a way where most ppl will never get it. I've seen superstar employees get 2% annual raise. The rest got 1%. - Pay is localized, so you can do the same exact job but get pay half of the compensation if you're not based in the US. - It's either employee contract for less money, and you have some employee rights given to you by your country, or more money but you're getting misclassified on a b2b contract and using vaction days when you get sick. The actual work requirements and responsibilities are the same in both cases. - If you're not drinking the koolaid you better fall in line and keep any opinions challenging the status quo to yourself - Manager can get pretty manipulative, they'll say anything to appease you, but will not act in your interest unless it aligns with their internal politics play
