Pros

Work benefits Flexibility Fun team and company

Cons

- Extremely high quota that can be unrealistic, yet pay is much lower than industry average - Other AE doing under the table strategies to “steal” deals from one another - disgusting and dishonest behaviour yet not penalised at all - Managers micromanaging relationship with sdr to make sure we are not making it too easy for them - breaking the sd / ae relationship - managers do not have the relevant experience to lead the team. every meeting is pretty useless and only talking about numbers. Even a child can read forecast numbers
