Pros

Great group of people to work with, benefits are there, culture is slowly building and product is great. You have the freedom to sale in your own way but this can also be a negative. No sales training or support if you are into that.

Cons

The benefits might seem alright, but they're completely overshadowed by the abysmal management, starting right from the top. Prepare yourself for a psychological rollercoaster, as the management's bullying tactics would require a psychiatrist to address the resulting trauma. While meeting ramping targets appears plausible, achieving full quota is nothing more than a deceptive illusion unless you're working like a 7/11 service station (7 days a week & 11 hours a day). The person at the helm lacks any semblance of leadership skills, offering zero respect to colleagues, providing zilch support or guidance, and opting for insults over encouragement when the team inevitably falls short (which, let's face it, is a whopping 90% of the time). As if that weren't enough, the same person can't even recall my name correctly on multiple occasions, adding a touch of insult to the injury. Meanwhile, the middle managers wield about as much power and influence in the business as a potted plants. Career progression is a distant dream here, and this joint is nothing more than a revolving door (average tenure is 7 months). It's genuinely pitiful for the middle managers - a bunch of brilliant minds constantly squashed by the suffocating chain of command.

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.
