Pros

Great mission, compensation and benefits

Cons

The GTM team needs a lot of work. The sales team consistently overforecasts and underdelivers (by millions) each quarter. This leads to a handful of terminations at the beginning of each quarter, but the behavior doesn't change. The revops team is a mess, and almost every commission check is incorrect, and they've gone so far as to take clawbacks from reps for mistakes they made. Customer retention is going in the wrong direction as budget and competitors are coming into play. Across the company there is a lot of favoritism for the legacy employees, and they are prematurely promoted into senior roles.
