Pros

1. Fast-growing U.S. pre-IPO company. If you are lucky to stay till that day. 2. Structured onboarding program that is particularly beneficial for junior professionals and those starting their first job.

Cons

1. Culture & Integrity: There is limited emphasis on integrity and professionalism. The environment encourages internal competition in ways that lead to conflicts over accounts and deals. You can get away with stealing your peer's accounts and deals and been treated as a top performer. 2. Workplace Behavior: Certain employees display arrogance and a lack of respect toward managers and peers, which undermines collaboration. 3. Management Approach: The company is highly metrics-driven, with daily performance tracking, daily scoring, applied uniformly to all sales teams, regardless of role, seniority, or experience. This creates a sense of micromanagement. 3. GTM Strategy: The U.S. playbook is applied globally, but it does not align well with the nuances of all markets, leading to inefficiencies. Leaderships don't value local experience and feedback. 4. Compensation: Pay packages are below market benchmarks, making it difficult to attract and retain top talent. 5. Turnover: High attrition and frequent silent layoffs contribute to instability and uncertainty across teams.

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.
