Pros

Product shows well on a demo. Good product-market fit. strong supply chain. most orders ship same day

Cons

Chop shop when it comes to employees. The 80% of reps who don't hit quota (that's the stat - despite what recruiters tell you) are on the hot seat. Every quarter they fire a sizeable amount of reps with no notice, no pip and no severance. Incredibly cut throat culture and short-term thinking everywhere. The sales cycle is longer than the average rep tenure (that sounds like a bad math problem to me). Stay away.

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.
