Pros

Decent commission structure if you can actually close deals and meet the quota.

Cons

This place is a dumpster fire. I joined Harness thinking it’d be a great opportunity but it’s been a nightmare. Management sets impossible quotas, then ghosts you when you ask for support. As a new rep, I felt like an outsider - nobody bothers to include you. Constant pressure to work late, no work-life balance, and I’m watching everyone else here burn out too. Counting the days until I can escape...
