      Detention for adults, micromanagement, bro culture.

      Pros

      Good practice cold calling and building a pipeline, although in terms of sourcing new accounts (which was necessary to succeed) it was almost impossible to fine something that hadn’t already been touched. Also some genuinely nice people.

      Cons

      This is the worst company culture I have ever seen. Micromanagement abounds. Cameras had to be on in 300 person Zooms with the CRO screaming at the top of his lungs. I once shut off my camera for 30 seconds and was almost immediately pinged by my manager to turn it back on - so they are actually just sitting there watching? It felt so icky. At a point they also instituted detention. Yes, they literally called it detention. If you didn’t hit a certain number of meetings booked during the week, you had to sit on a Zoom call from 4:30-5:30 on Fridays. This was the last straw for me. Zero respect across the board. Also, an AE once told me I had to learn to “speak to brown people differently.” He had known me for two months, and felt totally comfortable just spitting that out. So toxic, and insanely high turnover so at least people know to jump ship. I feel so bad for kids coming right out of college that have never experienced anything else - this is not how all jobs are guys!!
