Pros

office has snacks and occasionally lunch from what i hear from engineers the product is good

Cons

Similar to almost every other review, there is a severe favoritism culture going on here. On top of that, the leadership is inexperienced, under-qualified, and to be frank, straight up mean. If you are looking for an entry level sales role, I highly recommend not going here as it is downright miserable.

Pros

Culture is amazing. company resources are amazing. You really are apart of a community.

Cons

you have to sell your soul to the little purple dog to hit their ridiculous KPIs. Constant stress. It never stops. They claim to care about your mental health and well being, but they do not actually. They care about that stock price and making sure their team hits the KPIs that are honestly unrealistic. Teams find success one way or the other with these methods, but their reps have to put in their blood, sweat, and tears to get it for them. Reps work very hard and they are not getting paid enough to do what they are doing on a daily/weekly basis.
