Pros

The salary was as expected for this type of role and company.

Cons

Unfortunately, there were many. Upon leaving, I did not have a job and was offered a significant raise to stay, but still decided to leave because it was such a poor place to work. Promises made in the interview process were inaccurate and leadership for the customer facing role was untrained, inexperienced, and unprofessional. These inadequacies sadly go far beyond startup growing pains too. Overall, these are the three main areas where Tellius struggled during my tenure: 1. Company culture was terrible. There was no camaraderie or accountability, and the lack of honesty within the company and to the customers was very troubling. 2. Work / life balance was not respected. Management would contact employees during off hours, weekends, holidays, etc. and expect responses to happen immediately, and work to be done then. 3. Product leadership was poor and non-responsive to customer needs, and they actively did not support customer facing roles. Communication was nonexistent, customer input was often not heard on the product roadmap, and progress was extremely slow.

Pros

- Great traction in the market, exciting to be able to work with such large customers at this stage - Really easy whenever we go up against competition - GenAI features and gartner recognition is cool

Cons

It’s a startup, so there's no sugarcoating it—don't join if you really want work life balance

Pros

The only slight positives about this organization was the fully remote work capability and the marketing team that drove inbound leads.

Cons

Quite literally anything and everything you can think of. The management, the absurdly high expectations, the product that rarely worked, the ongoing attrition within the sales org, no room for growth at the organization, and the constant fear of always getting let go for not meeting someones expectations.
