Pros

Really enjoyed the people I worked with out of the Seattle office.

Cons

-Pay is below market average, but was lied to that average attainment for the office was above 100% and my OTE would be competitive. -Leadership over-hired, split territories but did not reduce quota despite decreased opportunities. -Most of the office was still ramping (and one person was in onboarding) when leadership dissolved the entire office. -Churn at this company is massive because territories are extremely unequal, small percentage of reps make a lot of money bc they have great territories, the rest are left to hope for miracles in order to hit quota. -Do not take this job unless you know the territory you are being hired for and confident in the ability to succeed in said territory.

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.
