Pros

- Good pay - Lots of AI-related work and the ability to work on new technologies - Very quick-paced

Cons

- Experience super dependent on leadership, can be a little difficult when leadership does not take the time to understand team or product and instead just wants to use AI to fix everything

Challenging business, need to keep up with the tech industry. The culture is very team-dependent

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.
