Pros

Free lunch everyday / $100p/month towards gym / Lots of Happy Hours

Cons

Where do I even begin? This is probably the most incompetent company I have ever worked for. They will make it seem like it's a great company and everyone is exceeding quota but it's 100% a lie. Barely even 5% of the sales team made quota last quarter so the money you are expecting to make well, forget about it. They keep trying to grow the sales team/split up territories, but will not adjust the quota to then meet that smaller territory making quota obtainment unrealistic. Majority of the people in their position are not qualified to actually have that title because they lack the knowledge/skill sets. They either know someone or got lucky by having a great quarter from partner leads. Metrics to succeed? They don't know what is actually needed to be successful. Just make as many dials as you can and hopefully someone will need cameras. New employees are not set up to succeed here and it is showing by the high turnover. Their main concern is expanding so ultimately they can go public and wipe their hands clean leaving their mess up to someone else to clean which will start off with a huge layoff. I've seen this happen before.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
