Pros

Nice office, lots of snacks, some great people, fast growing company.

Cons

Low base pay compared to similar tech companies, promotions can take a while (I’ve seen SDR’s going on 3 years), not super diverse (ESPECIALLY the leadership), impossible quotas (only 2 SDR’s on the FS HG team hit quota last quarter), unfair territory splits and inbound lead flows.

Pros

Strong Tech with Lots of funding, new NYC offices. decent people and training,

Cons

serious growing pains. Territories have shrunk, qouta has gone up, SDRs cant book meetings, seasoned AEs are cold calling like junior reps. comp landscape has become very murky and proprietary tech is limited Terrible VP overseeing NYC financial services team. no strategy other than call more and sell more. allowed tenured reps to call their own territories leaving garbage for the rest.
