Pros

competitive pay generous benefits (no 401k match and unlimited pto, meaning you won't be paid for un-used vacation days0 plenty of free food, beer and wine

Cons

startup scam and fictitious rocket ship. if you interview with the company, ask them how many executives they fired in the last six months. the company has an experience of firing the whole teams (marketing, sales, sales enablement, you name it ...) in one day non-diverse and non-inclusive. if you aren't belgian, you don't have any chances for growth or promotion. they don't have any career maps. showpad is a transit point - really good people come and go. leadership is very immature with no respect or trust to the US employees

Pros

Showpad is a recognized leader in sales enablement and revenue enablement, competing with companies like Highspot. The product solves a real problem for sales and marketing teams, making it easier to articulate value

Cons

From my perspective, the sales enablement space feels very crowded, with strong competitors like Highspot and Seismic making it difficult to stand out. I also found the culture lacking compared to larger tech companies, with limited collaboration across teams and not much of a strong company identity or sense of community.
