Pros

The base pay and commission structure is great. If you're in the Sausalito office, the company does everything they can to help you succeed.

Cons

They should have a VP of Sales in place instead of letting marketing teach tenured sales reps how to sell. Every training we were required to go to was pretty much a waste of time. No company wants to know how long you've been in business, how many awards you've won nor do they want to hear about tons of stats you've made up. They want to tell you their problems and hear how your product can solve them. Marketing wants you to talk the clients' ear off. Stop. Your style does not work.

Thank you for the feedback. We are always looking to improve how we operate. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't find our regular sales training sessions helpful toward achieving your sales goals. We'll continue to seek feedback from the team on how to improve these sessions as well as the overall sales messaging. Note: Glassdoor does have a VP of Sales.

Pros

Glassdoor practices what they preach! The transparency is present. Growth potential is certainly available for those that seek it or want it, especially with the rate at which we are growing as a company. Jobs, titles, divisions are present now that may not have been 3 or 6 months ago and will continue to evolve as we are rapidly growing and adjusting for growth. Communication is certainly a priority and constantly being worked on. The benefits out-surpass any place I have worked before or have been involved with. Additional training/education is available by simply requesting it

Cons

Being remote from the Corporate office has, at times, been a challenge from a communication standpoint and at times a disconnect. Orientation processes for remote folks/locations should be considered as much as the process that is present for the corporate office - this is a definite sore point. Scheduling of company-wide meetings needs to also take into account time zone differences for the availability of those attending. Alternately secured video recording should be made and available for those who cannot attend and would like to 'see what they missed".

Pros

Glassdoor really knows how to take care of their employees. We get high-quality swag, catered lunch everyday, gym access, kayaks and snacks...all for free! We are a dog friendly office, which is awesome. Unlimited PTO, healthcare, high compensation.

Cons

The commute to and from work can be quite lengthy. Even in the carpool lane, it has taken an hour to get from Novato to Mill Valley.
