Pros

Best in class product Incredible resources / collateral for sales Lots of opportunity for penetration in a competitive market (especially smb and mid market)

Cons

Like with any organization, there are weird cliques. I had the unfortunate experience of being told verbally I was working for one person, and then after being given a verbal offer was transitioned to work for a woman that is legitimately a miserable human being. From day one, condescending, eye rolling, telling me it was an awful / weird onboarding experience. From there it was essentially “working me out” as they call it in big tech. People talking trash about me to my face or in code right next to me. Lured me from cushy gig at a competitor with RSUs and cash sign on, only to give me a 46/100 on a sales simulation I had already done twice to get hired. Totally subjective, made it very clear they thought it was a mistake hiring me during the very first week. “Open honest direct” is a part of the culture, yet it was more or less sarcasm, condescension, and high school antics for me for 90 days. Family first, relationships matter etc, yet some cat lady who doesn’t know how to manage people, who walks around looking like she hasn’t slept in a week telling me “this isn’t for everybody” daily. She was in the office maybe 10 times during my “tenure” there, yet this is an inside sales job? Awesome company, just make sure you vet out your manager. Lesson learned!

Pros

Compensation was strong and competitive. The people were genuinely good to work with, and on paper the mission is one you can get behind. Solid brand and a smart, capable workforce.

Cons

Leadership often felt political and opaque. Success was difficult to define clearly, and it frequently seemed like the business quietly picked winners and losers rather than rewarding performance on transparent terms.
