      Pros

      Perhaps there's a few dollars to be made at IPO (if it ever happens, they keep kicking that can down the road), IF and only if you got equity in early rounds. Sorry newcomers!

      Cons

      When a company has a generally terrible rating/comments, and all of the positive comments are short one-liners with 5 stars (submitted by company to skew the result and improve recruiting), this should be a giant red flag. You'll see a recurring theme here - middle management is terrible. Big ego's, major sense of 'old guard' here, very cliquey. Prepare for the most irrational decision making you've ever seen - it will truly blow your mind. NOT just sales here is miserable, morale is terrible across engineering and ops as well. Everyone is stagnant here. Mass exodus looming post-IPO.

      Thank you for taking the time to share about your experience. Leadership development is a focus area for the people team this year. In addition to the foundational manager training we offer through LifeLabs to all of our managers, we have recently implemented a mandatory 6-month leadership principles training course led by our CEO. We also have all our managers attend inclusion training. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve in this area or have additional feedback, feel free to reach out to your People Partner or People team directly.

      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.
