Pros

- Product is fantastic. Sells itself half the time, great brand recognition and reputation - People are fantastic. One of the best office environments I have been in, very fun and encouraging people to be around - Other people are genuinely cheering for you, people want to see others win - Great flexibility and overall work/life balance if you can get a good process down - Fantastic benefits and a cool office - Leadership has shown that they are willing to change and pivot (it make take a while, but at least it happens)

Cons

- Pay is low compared to the industry and they are asking more of reps without increasing pay or changing comp - Success is VERY manager dependent. If you have a good manager who cares, you will kill it. If you have an external hire who isn't up to speed, prepare for a crash landing. - Communication between orgs is severely lacking - SDRs are god. Any dispute with an SDR you can guarantee you will lose. Don't even bother - Heavy LDS influence on culture (not necessarily a con, but not a pro)

Pros

At the end of my tenure, I really have no pros.

Cons

I'm pretty sure I was "quietly laid off", in the effort of sneaky downsizing without having to actually do formal layoffs. This place was a godsend and a great place to work on my small independent team, and I did great. Then they did massive restructuring, added layers of hierarchy, added process, and basically just starting running a creative team like a line of factory workers. I had a horrible time with my manager on so many different levels, and felt validation when others would reflect the same, but I reflect what everyone else says - narcissistic, micro managing leadership that I now understand play manipulation games. I was put on a performance improvement plan and finally quit due to burnout, stress, and the dissolution of a role and a team that I had from before. They constantly push for solutions and deliverables, but I never really saw anything I delivered actually get treated and implemented with respect. Company policies and siloed team policies and procedures stymie actual effectiveness, and it seems like the leadership acts as your strict grade school teacher rather than having your back.
