Pros

Good access to tools. Managers are super friendly. You're selling cool technology with awesome impact on other businesses. Awesome location - austin is an amazing city, with lots to do. 3 min walk away from capital. Free food 2 days a week. Gym membership covered. Cool office space. Respectful of religion, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, etc. People are very friendly.

Cons

Limited upward mobility. They sell you hard on the fact that there's tons of growth and how sales dev reps have moved into amazing roles (a closing role, or a marketing role, or enablement) in other departments but it all happened during the hiring frenzy before the IPO. Now it's stagnant. They expect you to stay in role 18+ months before considering you for other roles. The hard part: No real solid plans to move you into new roles, rather they "put out fires as they come". Commission structure changes if you over-perform. Happened to a few people since I've started. Sad. No real training. It's a swim or drown set up. Rather than blame poor performance on crap training, they blame you. The tech is complex, data scientists barely understand how the tech works.. and yet they expect you to know it.. please. When managers ask for feedback, they're really keeping an eye out to see if you're going to leave, rather than try to improve the work environment. No matching plans.. hard when you have a spouse and a mortgage to think about.
