Pros

Stock options. May be too late now but that was the biggest positive joining pre-IPO. Great benefits as well.

Cons

- management is clueless. Preach the same concepts over and over again without applying practice and offering real-time guidance - a lot of micromanagers who want to watch you clock in and clock out of work. Zero trust and confidence in the folks they hire - retention was worst I’ve seen at any company - ROE and internal bureaucracy was very bad. Not set up for it to be equitable for even 20% of reps. Need a lot of luck - pay was awful. Not even close to being competitive in the current market. Stock options were good but doesn’t make up for poor base and variable. - a lot of talk and no action. Management used to say “changes are coming” and there was never any follow up
