Pros

- free food - fun budget (will be used to drink your stress away)

Cons

- Massively unrealistic quotas, very few people hit and they will lie throughout the interview process about this. Will quote some people who are hitting who are on ramp target who just inheritied deals for people who have already fled this sinking ship - Success based on territory - Massive turnover in Sydney, 7 in the last 2 weeks which is around 30% of AE's leaving - Treated like a BDR - forced call blitzes for around 6 hours a week - Horrible leadership style, it's rare you come into the office and you don't find someone crying. QBR's and weekly forecast meetings are treated as a forum to berate and belittle staff whilst leadership take no accountability for the terrible strategy in ANZ which they have copy/pasted from the US. - Micromanaged daily with no room use your own sales acument. You have to literally learn a script for your demo's in your first two weeks. Yo uare regularly tested on this.

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.
