Pros

Competitive salary that is generally in line with market rates.

Cons

If you are considering applying for a Technical Support role, I would strongly encourage you to think carefully before doing so. Despite the title, the role feels much more like a call centre position where every aspect of your work is monitored and tracked. Performance targets are extremely difficult to achieve, and employees often feel more like numbers than valued professionals. There is very little trust or autonomy, and the level of monitoring can make it difficult to feel respected for your expertise and experience. There is also a significant emphasis on AI, to the point where it can feel as though the long-term goal is to replace technical support employees rather than invest in and develop them. Another aspect I found concerning was the use of accent-modification tools. Accents are part of who we are and should not be treated as something that needs to be hidden or corrected. If you come across this review while considering a role here, take the time to evaluate whether this environment aligns with your expectations and career goals. There are companies out there that place greater value on their people and treat them with the respect they deserve.

Pros

Innovative product, constantly growing the platform

Cons

Compensation doesn’t feel competitive for the workload and expectations of the role. Frequent annual changes—including territory realignments, account books, verticalization, and quota adjustments—create unnecessary disruption and make it difficult to build long-term customer relationships and pipeline. The company has grown rapidly, but account distribution hasn’t always kept pace with headcount, leaving many reps competing for limited opportunity and making OTE difficult to achieve consistently. The Team Lead role is one of the biggest pain points. Team Leads are expected to operate like frontline managers without the compensation or authority that comes with a management position. They carry a fully ramped quota while also traveling, mentoring new hires, leading office hours, answering rep questions, supporting onboarding, and taking on enablement responsibilities. While these leadership opportunities can be rewarding, they often come at the expense of selling time and make it significantly harder to hit quota.
