Pros

You will learn so much here; how to use data to create better strategies, sharpen your writing skills, speaking up no matter who is in the room, etc.

Cons

VERY fast paced and workloads are heavy. Simple processes are made complicated by lengthy review and approval protocols that change constantly. Burnout is real and the collaborative is intentionally toxic. You are competing against your coworkers for your annual performance reviews and everyone knows it. Lots of manipulation and back stabbing.

Pros

-Great place to learn -Work with some of the smartest people in the industry -Flexibility/autonomy in schedule (not impacted by RTO)

Cons

-Constant reorgs and shifts in leadership: I went through a reorg almost every January and had 6 managers in 2.5 years. Inconsistent leadership makes it hard to feel aligned to a company/team vision or to feel supported. -Promotions are highly political and your manager plays a huge role in whether you advance. Managers rarely have career conversations with reps, which leaves little real path for growth. Good managers want to see their team develop and help them get there. -Comp plan changes reduced sellers' ability to accelerate and lowered pay year over year. Comp plans are dictated by Operations, not Sales Leadership.
