Pros

-Culture -Onboarding The coworkers were great and the onboarding was smooth with lots of training!

Cons

The position was not for me due to the required metrics of solving a certain number of cases each week and having that "go-go" mindset. The pay was not worth the stress for me.

Pros

Great culture still, leadership cares about your success, awesome product development speed

Cons

As they continue to grow and prepare for an acquisition or IPO, new leadership has begun putting priority on increasing efficiency and quota attainment over the values of the organization. Quota attainment is very low but they are currently putting in more and more regulations and "big brotherness" to crack down. Feels more and more like your typical sales bro organization now focused on revenue over everything, as opposed to 4 years ago when I started and it felt more like a small business/family/value oriented. Also not really promoting from within recently at all.
