Pros

After working here, I will never take another sales job for granted.

Cons

- horrible pay - impossible quotas and only getting tougher. - I’ve never been a part of a more demoralized sales culture - promotion path is nonexistent, constant lies that sound like a broken record - upper management simply doesn’t care how miserable their employees are - micro-managing - intimidation tactics to control employees - they want you to be an obedient soldier who they can pay poorly yet hold to high expectations. - the product is a very tough sell. - if you value your happiness, growth and wallet - do not work here.

Pros

-The AI-First Mission is Real- We aren’t just talking about artificial intelligence; we are actively executing an AI-first transformation across our entire product and internal operating models. It’s an incredibly exciting, fast-paced space for anyone looking to build the future of enterprise software. -What makes this company truly special is our foundation: we have a deep, proven contact center history, but we’ve successfully paired that legacy with the right product architecture and the right people to dominate the AI future. It feels like today we have the right people on board to execute. - Innovative mindset- We don't have everything figured out today. Employees are encouraged to think outside of the box and move fast to try new things and surface solutions.

Cons

-High-Pressure, Agile Environment: Because we scale on consumption and automation rather than simple headcount, the bar for talent density here is exceptionally high. Things move FAST. If you prefer a slow, highly structured, or static environment, this level of rapid iteration might feel overwhelming - TD doesn't have everything figured out. You have to be OK building as you go, and not always having clear direction.
