Pros

I've been there for over a year and I really don't have any complaints. The company strikes a good balance between being fun and professional. The company is growing quickly right now, and I've personally seen a lot of people I onboarded with get promoted. So it is true when they say there is room for growth. The job can be tough, and of course your managers push you to hit your number, but they are pretty supportive and I've never seen anyone act unprofessionally. In my experience, the sales leadership team all the way up from managers to the VP, is a really solid group. Selling the industry leading product is definitely a plus. The strong product market fit, and the growth trajectory that this company is on, make it a good place to be, given the economic uncertainty.

Cons

This probably is not company specific, and is a challenge that every enterprise sales org deals with, but every one has a quota, and at the end of the day that is the only thing that matters. Everyone from individual contributors to VPs have targets they have to hit, and hitting that number is the primary driver of behavior. People might pay lip-service to mental health and all that, but you are definitely expendable. Again, this might be unavoidable, and is arguably the way it should be, but it can just feel a little dishonest. Maybe that's what it takes to keep the ship running.

Pros

The people. My peers in marketing are experienced, fun, and whip-smart. Colleagues, even those long gone, have continued to be supportive of one another in ways I've not seen at other companies. The networking is amazing. Although it may also be trauma bonding.

Cons

Marketing is always the scapegoat here and will always get hit hard when there are layoffs. In early summer 2025 they laid off nearly the entire product marketing team - from 26 people to 2- and "replaced" them with AI. Morale never recovered, the messaging has never been clearly communicated since then, and the worst part is CEO Henry Schuck went on a podcast to brag about it. Talk about out of touch. In the entire time I worked there, marketing leadership was sorely lacking. There has never been clear direction. This is still a problem with the new CMO, who is both heavily involved at a micro level and yet opaque about important things the whole department should know. And now the constant trimmings... Er, layoffs... no -- "exits" -- have gotten even more extreme. We're just wholesale replacing standard, strategic marketing positions and even teams with agencies. Which is quite a look for a billion dollar company. It might be worth it to work here for 6 months or a year if you can manage for the experience and connections, but the constant strategic switch-ups and looming inevitability of layoffs will wear you down. And soon you'll be looking for an escape route so you can say "you can't lay me off, I quit."
