Pros

They offer remote and hybrid roles.

Cons

For those considering an AE position, especially in Mid-Market, it's important to understand the pace and expectations. Communication is constant, often extending well beyond typical work hours, and responsiveness is expected in real time. While framed as accountability, it often felt more like tight oversight with limited autonomy. Territory quality was a challenge. Many accounts had been contacted repeatedly over the years, making it difficult to engage prospects or build fresh pipeline. Managerial support was inconsistent. Performance metrics were the primary focus, and coaching or development wasn’t emphasized. If you’re not hitting numbers, support may be limited. One unexpected hurdle was transitioning out. Titles didn’t carry the weight I anticipated in the broader market, and many external companies viewed the experience as SMB-level, which made upward mobility difficult. If you're seeking a role that offers long-term growth, balance, and strong mentorship, I’d recommend exploring other options.

Pros

Great people, everyone is so understanding and supportive. Culture is fun and energizing, people seem happy to be here. There's lots of ways to get involved outside of your day job. Awesome benefits and flexibility - love the remote first work environment, week of rest, open PTO, etc. Robust tech stack - lots of tools available for me to do my job.

Cons

Experiencing some growing pains but leadership seems receptive to feedback on it.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
