Pros

Dave Merk is a legend

Cons

No job security. Company grossly overhired then kicked its best employees to the curb, regardless of performance as some of the highest performing employees were laid off over the weaker ones. Lots of politics involved. Don’t recommend this as a place to work as there is zero stability. Also a highly competitive market which makes it difficult to stand up against the competition

We definitely agree with your thoughts about merk! Thank you for your review. Without feedback, we wouldn’t know how we can improve. We, like many other companies, have been working to refine and adapt as our market shifts – but we work as hard as we can to make sure those changes don’t negatively impact our culture. Thank you for taking time to leave us a review.

Pros

The interview process was absolutely seamless, and I felt well informed about next steps and expectations every step of the way (shoutout to Brandon!). Every single person I met was warm, inviting, and genuinely seemed happy to be part of the Expel team, which made the decision to accept my offer an easy yes! :) The onboarding experience was intentional and thoughtfully personalized to my role, with a checklist that was easy to follow and trainings that built naturally week by week in a way that never felt overwhelming. We also had the opportunity to participate in new hire meet and greets with leaders across the organization, and what continues to stand out to me is the level of transparency, authenticity, and humanness every leader at Expel brings.

Cons

The success of current AEs at Expel is super inspiring, which sets a high bar and everyone is very driven, so it can take a bit of time a to fully ramp and feel confident in your role initially. It also takes time to build key relationships and earn trust with partners and customers, so consistent presence, early territory engagement, and ongoing relationship building are critical to long term success.
