Pros

Some of the AE's I worked with and free lunch twice a week

Cons

- Rude and unprofessional onboarding experience - Micro management from leadership - All the way from the CEO down to the Managers - Don't believe in investing in Marketing - Absolutely no inbound leads or marketing channels in place to drive leads - 100% outbound - Required to make 50 calls a day minimum even if you are an AE - Account Executives are expected to do the job of an AE, SDR, CSM, AM, and SE all in one - Unexpected meetings and trainings thrown on calendars. This could be in the morning before you wake up or when you're on the way to the office without any notice - Trainings thrown on calendars during the last week or last day of the month when AE's are trying to close business - NEST training program after onboarding with toxic management process - Trying to do everything possible to not burn through their funding - Highest turnover I have ever seen. People are let go during onboarding and on Ramp. Do not give you a chance to learn and expect you to hit unrealistic metrics from a quota perspective - PIP driven sales culture implemented from leadership

Pros

You get to spend a lot of time dancing around like a monkey for these guys.And if you like monkeys, I guess that's a pro

Cons

There are app allows you to do absurd things. Because they don't have faith in people. And then they discriminate against you in ways which is federally illegal. But they don't care, because you'll continue to talk to AI. And when AI doesn't know what to say, it just starts repeating itself like a broken record. This app it needs updated
