Pros

Quarterly days off to compensate for the long night and weekend hours that you are forced to work Many tracking tools to track sales individuals from emails to video calls. You will have a big brother at benchling. Poor young inexperienced colleagues at benchling who are promised to become rich and travel the world if they give their life to this job (sadly mostly have burnt out, fired and made no money) If you like the Netflix tv show- house of cards, you have one at Benchling in sales management politics, it is just poorly executed at benchling Micromanaging managers who will be calling you every minute even during your holiday and Christmas Day to check on deals, You are never alone at Benchling. Plenty of jobs to apply for as they have a HIGH turnover in sales

Cons

Toxic sales managers who are inexperienced and not suitable for the role. Most of them were fired from the larger companies like Veeva. Lack of empathy and support. The managers will blame, terrorize, and bully their team constantly as this is the method deployed from the top to them. Unrealistic growth targets in a very small market with an immature product Many inappropriate views, misogyny, racist and political opinions expressed freely within the sales managers. CEO plans, principals and views are often ignored and laughed at by his own sales leadership

Pros

Young Environment, good salaries , nice product for R&D

Cons

Sick working environment driven by wrong revenue expectations. The company environment drastically changed during 2022 killing what in my opinion was the strength of the company the enthusiasm of the people working there. No career development opportunities and lately a lot of layoffs.
