Pros

Lots of engineers on different teams and squads means lots to learn and opportunities for moving around and trying new things. Strong leadership at the squad level and within Engineering dept. Thoughtful product managers, sprints and general planning. Good pay, benefits, work/life balance.

Cons

Engineering team can often feel isolated from the rest of the company. Bigger company and large customer base means changing to latest technology can be slow.

Pros

Good peer group of women on the team. Mileage reimbursement is provided.

Cons

Extremely high sales quotas that are difficult to consistently achieve, paired with limited compensation upside even when goals are met. The organization feels top-heavy, with too many layers of management relative to the field team, which creates inefficiencies and slows decision-making. Management style can feel overly micromanaged and at times more focused on process and tone than actual business growth or performance metrics. There is limited perceived career growth, and compensation does not scale meaningfully with experience or performance. Overall morale among the sales team is low, and employee concerns around workload, pay, and structure do not always feel addressed in a meaningful way.
