Pros

The best corporate culture I have ever seen. Unfortunately, this does not apply to the sales area - here, and you do not have the impression that the team member is important and also feels comfortable being able to develop his potential.

Cons

Chaos in the development and allocation of customers/territories. You can only count on that; you will not keep the customers you build. It will arbitrarily cut off customer relationships and restructure the territories. Of course, significantly smaller (about 50%) and therefore a little more quota (about 40%). In addition, contract extensions that do not take place are booked as negative sales. It is possible to reach your goal, but only those who have been there for at least three or more years and have been able to secure big customers can overachieve.

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
