Pros

New laptop Some work from home equipment Cool product that customers love Pretty stable and secure job — definitely not worried about getting laid off Flexible hours and vacation

Cons

Pretty siloed and isolated role. Not much collaboration or interaction happening on the team. Everything moves very slow internally, with tons of rules and hoops to jump through in order to get anything done. Really weak comp structure. There really isn’t any opportunity to make a lot of money, even if you exceed your quota — which is huge bummer because most sales reps get into sales so they can make some good money!! Most AE roles in SF have an OTE above $140k — sadly we aren’t even close to that. People on the sales team have been upset about this for a while now and many are interviewing at other companies.

Pros

There's real enduring culture where people care about doing really good work. The culture is friendly with strong camaraderie amongst the individual employees, and managers try to do right by their reports.

Cons

Quarterly reorgs, quiet role reductions, and slowly stripping away benefits has made morale worse than ever. It may have been worthwhile if the business was getting better, but it's pretty flat and attrition is very high. With the introduction of the new CEO, Dan Rogers, there's been a clear shift to hard capitalism and people as numbers. Problems have been solved in short-sighted ways, causing discontent even within the leadership ranks. The company was losing some steam beforehand, but now it's "a ship trying to make a sharp turn and keeling over, just barely not capsizing".
