      Great product, great benefits, would not recommend for sales role

      Pros

      Best in class product that solves real problems. Strong engineering and product team, always innovating and adding more for customers. Great benefits = stock options, healthcare package, fitness expense, phone expense, access to Udemy. Thorough sales training. Great product training, so don't worry if you don't have a technical background. Lots of internal promotions for those who stick it out and "trust the process". Collaboration with sales engineers. Massive growth.

      Cons

      High turnover in sales Unrealistic sales structure in EMEA, targets are the same in every region. 1/40 commercial reps in EMEA hit their annual sales quota. The culture of underperforming is accepted. Comp plan isn't achievable. Leadership in the US are not open to change. No real autonomy for your given role. Heavy outbound focus with little or no sales tools. It's a very manual process, most of your time is spent cold calling offices that are closed or sending manual emails to try and book meetings. Extremely monotonous. More focus on outbound pipeline generation vs. actually selling or closing deals.

      Awful experience

      Pros

      Free headphones when you join

      Cons

      You’re oversold on the onboarding process during the interview stage. No support provided. You’re given a book of 90 accounts that have been prospected into by the last 3 account executives who prospected into those accounts for the 6-9 months they worked there.
