Pros

- Great benefits (good insurance, 401k, free therapy sessions, wellness stipend) - Able to get a job with little to no sales experience - Good work life balance

Cons

- Almost impossible if you want to move out of sales into any other department (marketing, HR, etc) - extremely low base pay considering the cost of living in Seattle (or SF & Chicago), especially in comparison to other tech companies base pay of SDRs - pretend to have a diverse workplace when in reality most of the people hired are just friends of friends - they continue to either raise quotas or keep them impossibly high because they were based on peak Covid numbers - with such high quotas only a small percent of SDRs are able to consistently hit every month - it’s clear that management mostly cares about bringing in more money while paying employees low wages

Pros

Mostly nice people, dedicated to their specific roles.

Cons

Lack of team cohesion among departments. Lots of communication and accountability breakdowns, siloed efforts. Immature processes and undeveloped operations. Unqualified and ineffective leadership: I was to be the Business Process Lead but mid-interview, the hiring manager told me they would instead place me in a very small sub-department reporting into Finance Business Transformation. It was never clear if this was meant to be temporary or permanent... I was successful in facilitating and contributing to a project that was 10+ years overdue at Docusign. The managing director I reported to was laid off so a more tenured employee took over as "manager" who had never been in charge of people and it showed. Despite my contributions, I was told how little they valued my work and efforts on a successful project. Definitely a level disparity as I have been Sr. Finance Manager twice and head of a global department reporting into VP level and up. It appeared that all this new "manager" wanted was a subservient cog to condescend, demotivate, and talk down to. Beyond ridiculous to squander my 15 years of corporate experience.
