Pros

- Fast paced product releases - Good focus on creating an entrepreneurial spirit - Well funded, competitive pay

Cons

- Terrible culture (ANZ), no one is happy except the management team who want to cash out - There is no trust. All sales activity is tracked (calls, notes, meetings, outbounds, emails etc), however, these metrics are not important ... only sales - even at the cost of customer relationships and employee turnover. PIPs are handed out like lollies to some of the best reps in the region when they miss a target. - Sales success is with a few "lucky" individuals, the vast majority are not making their number and either looking for another job or waiting for the IPO payday. - Every manager pretends to want to help you, but the truth is, they have no ability to help their reports. They are powerless and hopeless.

0 work/life balance. Managers don’t respect after hours calls, slacks, outreach in any form. There also is limited onboarding depending what team you join

Pros

You receive stock but who knows if the company will ever IPO or go bust, its a big gamble

Cons

Layoffs across all depts Bullying Who knows if the company will ever IPO or go bust, its a big gamble You get to work in a crappy Wework Ask for the tenure of your team before you start, most are less than 1 year, this will be the clear indicator of a poor culture.
