Pros

-I really enjoyed my coworkers and peers. -Team events were a blast -Fun culture despite working remotely -Good sales experience

Cons

-Underpaid vs industry standard and underpaid vs cost of living in Denver. OTE for a CDR1 is only 60,000. I was promoted twice but my base of 39000 never increased. Inbound role but only get paid if you hit 75% commission (Account Managers still get paid out for hitting 50%). They justify this by offering stock that won't hit your pocket for years. -I felt like I was lied to in my interview. I was told that the company would always prioritize promoting from within, but they massively over-hired outside account managers, severely slowing down promotion paths of employees who came into the company in entry level positions. -Management will talk their way out of this by claiming "things are always subject to change". -Account Managers/Sales side of organization is disrespectful to demand gen side of org (Talk to down to, ignore teams messages, etc.) -Unrealistic quotas -Seem to roll out changes without ever thinking them through or having proper resources in place to make changes successful -Increased roles and responsibilities of position, essentially being turned into account managers for smaller accounts (require more hand holding, often less fruitful), without compensation of being an account manager.

Pros

Strong individual contributors who are partner-centric. New office is nice for hybrid work.

Cons

What was once a strong culture has eroded significantly due to poor leadership, misaligned talent in key roles, and a chronic lack of strategic direction and communication. Tenure or relationships are rewarded over competence, and those at the top protect each other — even when decisions have negatively impacted the business and/or partners. People are treated as revenue-generating assets, not human beings. Leadership is so deeply disconnected from the real problems that have persisted for years.
