Pros

Not your typical sales role - sales team is internally motivated and management trusts the team to get the job done. Casual environment - no real dress code, everyone in the office is friendly. Everyone around you wants you to succeed and will help you get there. Management is personable and speaks not from a place of authority - it really feels like everyone is on the same team. Growing company - heavily invested in the growth of both the organization and all of its people.

Cons

With rapid growth sometimes comes with growing pains like changing team structure, and the transition period can sometimes be slow or undefined.

Very thorough onboarding and enablement process. Great culture and people. Excellent company & team communication.

There's a lot to learn, which isn't a con - but something good to know.

Pros

None, get ready to be micro managed and have unobtainable quotas.

Cons

Management is clueless on how to run a channel program. US team is run like a college frat with condescending management. No official PIP, they will invite you to a meeting with HR and fire you.
