Pros

Great people work here. You get to work with a lot of people your age that you hangout with after work. The pay is AMAZING. Making over $150k in my first year in this role. The promotion path is amazing as well. I started as an SDR here and was promoted within a year to Associate Account Executive I. I was then promoted again with another raise to Associate Account Executive II within 2 months. I was then promoted to Account Executive within another 2 months with another raise. The base pay, pays overtime so when you put in the hours you get paid for it. Commission checks have ranged from 7k to 16k on a monthly basis. Quarterly bonuses over 5k as well. We go on happy hours twice a month and have a fully stocked kitchen with what ever we want to order. You get to wear whatever you want pretty much as we do everything via WebEx so no need to dress up. We have a work league fantasy football league that 12 people are in. They paid for me to fly out and Stay in San Fransisco for 2 weeks when I first started and 1 week when I got promoted to AE after one year. They also fly you out for the annual Sales Kick off which has been at Disney world the past couple years. The promotion path is what really sold me on this company in the first place so you know exactly what you need to do in order to get the next promotion. No favorites or what not, just hit the metric and you get the raise/promotion. You have direct access to the CEO/SVP of Global Sales/VP of HR to voice concerns and many other higher level executives. The CEO Jim will even help you in a deal to help close the sale.

Cons

The job can definitely be stressful at times but it is sales so that is part of the job. If you are willing to put in the work and stay positive I dont see many cons with this job.

Pros

There are great, friendly, hard-working people here. They let you share ideas and run with them. CTO is an amazing leader. The product is super interesting, and they train you really well in SEO. I'll be honest, I was super nervous about accepting a job here after reading all the negative reviews on Glassdoor - so I actually brought it up in my interview. The CTO said that a majority of these reviews are actually from the sales/marketing department - not the engineering department (which is the department I was interviewing for). So I took a gamble and accepted the job. I'm going to say that he is right. The engineering department is great, and I'm pretty sure the negative reviews are about other departments - so be wary if you are interviewing there. I had some medical issues and nobody ever said a single thing about me taking the time I needed during the day. In fact, they were VERY accommodating. Now, that isn't to say that they don't expect hard work. They want very hard-working, driven people. They expect you deliver. If you want an easy, laid-back job, this isn't for you. I actually very much enjoyed the rigorous environment, since I like a challenge. They aren't at all unreasonable, though, and I found their requirements of me to be the same as any other job I've had.

Cons

There are some overtime issues with engineers having to work really late, especially during release weeks. However, they've hired someone to make the processes more agile, so they really are trying to fix the problem (the CTO is definitely aware and has talked about it). But just know that there are some growing pains in that process. They claim that they are a scrum company, but at least when I worked there, they had a long way to go to get there. However, the person they hired for the job is great and is really trying to change things. Definitely some communication problems, but I really don't think they are intentional. Just know that it'll need some work.
