Pros

* They are decent with their tech; tech stack is modern and efficient. * Good career progression (in most teams) and some mentorship. * Some networking opportunities.

Cons

* There are often silent layoffs and firings. There is a culture of firing people who have been at the company for a while. I have heard of cases of firing without a PIP in place. * They are more ruthless and a sink or swim culture is now in place. * There are many cases of management stepping down to the IC level because of tough company expectations.

Not too many pro's to write about here

Cons

-Pay-scale way below industry average ($65k base+120KOTE) -Only 5-10% of reps hit their number (mostly random inbounds) -Diversity is worse than you could probably imagine -Good luck with any internal promotion, you'll leave here as a commercial rep
