Pros

On paper, this is a good company to work for. The pay is good. Benefits are good. PTO is good. There is a lot of opportunity in the space and if you are customer facing, you have the opportunity to work with a lot of interesting companies. There are good, smart people who work very hard and do their best to support those around them.

Cons

No effort has been put into defining a culture. What the company has defaulted to is a cliche "dude-bro enterprise" with profit being the only thing to aspire to. Focus has shifted entirely to becoming a revenue engine and away from any sort of product or customer focus. The result is a company with a hollow core, giving employees little to be motivated by other than more stock.

Pros

Good company benefits - private healthcare, employee stock purchase programme Annual sales kickoff

Cons

All calls & emails are now monitored. Graded & tracked on your calls. New requirement is now to have 50+ calls a month recorded in Gong (Gong was previously phased out but now a requirement). Pay rises are low, false promises each year of promotions & generous pay rises Team members favoured over others Work life balance now near on impossible with all the new asks put in place
