Pros

Remote, coworkers, enablement resources, health benefits.

Cons

Being customer facing is ROUGH right now as you’re not specific to an industry or product mix and the product has endlessly changed and confused customers. Constant changing and competing priorities- and I get we need to be adaptable, but this is next level (your inbox will be flooded with direction shifts and urgent internal requests), not enough time to upskill and be strategic because you’re always jumping from one call or escalation to the next. NO relief to take PTO, you still have to hit the same amount of calls per month and other metrics with the expectation that you make up for it when you’re in office; therefore no actual burnout relief and the metrics are already a stretch. You’re the dumping ground for everything that relates to your customers (although tech support is very helpful, but oftentimes customers just want to work through their CSM). Underpaid compared to the market and overworked. And there’s no empathy from anyone about it. My advice would NOT to join this company as a new CSM if there are other options.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
