definitely not a start-up

Account executive

Pros

your benefits, training, and product will all be top-shelf. there is a huge emphasis on service and giving back.

Cons

it's a really lame culture, and you're definitely a cog in a machine. you will never be anything of importance, and if you're coming from a company where you were formerly working close to upper management or inter-departmentally, WATCH OUT...that won't be happening here.

Highly political environment; focus on building sales & the sales army has polluted the culture; best place to (stress)

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Foundation 1-1-1 model; HQ being in SF; interior design of office spaces; clear opportunity for promotion as a high achiever; company's creativity in rolling out new products and expanding the platform is notable

Cons

crazy political; not all for one and one for all, but rather, all looking out for number one; sales culture has made everyone else into 2nd class citizens; higher-than-average comp doesn't pay for how embittered one becomes as a result of this environment
