      Pros

      Genuinely a revolutionary product Great RSU. Company is growing exponentially. Free food & drinks in the office Fitness and telecommunications expensed up to a certain amount each month Everyday you learn something new, constant development Good career progression opportunities The people on the sales force are helpful, welcoming, nice and great fun

      Cons

      There is a long enough onboarding time to get fully ramped as it’s an outbound role. But it’s very rewarding, you learn and develop almost non stop.

      Pros

      -Good benefits -Seemed transparent -I do believe executive team cared about employees -The product truly is best in class

      Cons

      If you are a true CSM, stay away. This place is a sales shop. All metrics are sales based. Customer Success falls under the sales org. You will be told your job is to manage customers, but when end of month comes, all that matters is your pipeline. There is also zero team support for the team that owns the smaller growth accounts. You are not supposed to be technical, but when any technical questions come up, there is zero technical support for your clients because they are not valuable enough. On top of that, you have 300-500 accounts, so working less than 65 hours per week is impossible. If you like sales, this job will be great for you. If you want true Customer Success, do not apply. Also the micromanagement is real. Updates are asked for multiple times per day. Expectations are completely unrealistic. There is absolutely no work/life balance.

      It's a grind

      Pros

      Brand name in the industry with a great product and support system for reps.

      Cons

      An absolute grind. They try to weed out reps by handing them accounts that have been worked over repeatedly. They try to see who will survive.

Thank you again for leaving this feedback as it helps us see what we're doing well and where we have room to improve as an organization.
