Selling for Figure Eight; if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

Pros

Extensive training modules and certifications on the AI and ML space. You will become very well versed on the industry and will definitely expand your horizons for future work. You will be impressed by the genius of some of your coworkers, especially the Machine Learning team. Free food, kitchen stocked weekly with myriad of chilled beverages. Unlimited PTO - people come and go as they please without any worry about how their job will be handled while they are away on holiday.

Cons

This is an SDR organization, that's focused on a land and expand model. Collecting monies upfront is more important than protecting the value of the platform. Leadership structure is very weak, the story is great and inspiring and the future outlook is very rosey. However, the management structure (specifically in sales) lacks the vision and expertise to execute on lofty sales targets. Sales are project based and transactional in practice. Upper management (VP’s) are very green and lack the experience to hold the position they hold.

Figure Eight Response

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to see that you had some positive experiences at Figure Eight. Your points with Sales are well received, and our team is looking at ways to be more efficient. We wish you the best of luck in your future.
