Pros

- I feel incredibly supported and empowered to do my best work here - Co-workers come from best in class sales organizations and are genuinely good, kind, compassionate people we can all learn from - Our tools, processes and workflows are modern and don't slow us down - Slack, the product, actually transforms the way companies work and it's enjoyable to sell - No internal email! - Targets are attainable and comp is top class - Never have I worked in a more diverse sales organization and culture really is our competitive advantage - Our offices are absolutely gorgeous with plenty of nooks to work from when it's focus time - TAM continues to grow, we have massive tailwinds and we're just getting started

Cons

- Our default to open and public can be a transition for some new hires - Slack on Slack can be overwhelming at first - Some days you feel the burden of being a comparatively young enterprise sales team with things yet to figure out - Typical post-IPO growth/scale pains around loosely defined career progression and enablement - Solving for the largest organizational challenges in collaboration with our customers means you actually have to solve hard problems. Coasting isn't an option here. - NYC office strategy still lags behind other hubs.
