Pros
Joined the company a little under a year ago. I've been in the digital media space for a while now, and without naming names, I've worked at some of those pie-in-the-sky companies that people in the Bay Area dream of working for. Every place has it's pros and cons when it comes to perks & culture. No place is perfect. I always say, you need to know which things are truly important to YOU, take inventory of the good and the bad, and if the good outweighs the bad and you're working with people you like, consider yourself extremely lucky. The job is hard, and expectations are high, and the industry is fairly complex. But people here are super willing to help, leadership is really invested in developing their existing talent (never been part of a sales org that does as much on-going training as this place does!!), and most people seems to be doing pretty well.
General list of 'pros' below:
+The sellers here are SO SMART. I'm constantly impressed & inspired by them. In some of my past sales roles I felt surrounded by entitled and bored sellers... this place is NOT like that, and that's my #1 most favorite thing from a culture standpoint.
+Most of the sales leaders (at least within my sales channel) were originally AEs here... so, clear examples of upward mobility.
+TONS of sales training. Not just on our product, but general sales stuff.
+Catered lunches daily, fully stocked kitchens, etc.
+Monthly happy hours
+Amazing rooftop deck, beautiful views of the city, really great place to have lunch with coworkers on sunny day
+lots of clubs & groups putting on various activities
+I really think we have one of the best products in our space, and that's pretty key since I'm trying to sell it :)
+4 months maternity leave, plus a ramp-back-in month... not something I've needed to take advantage of just yet, but it's important!
Cons
-Not dog friendly :(
-We have some challenges around our tech stack in terms of sales tools... maybe I'm just used to having more, but seems like we're still in the earlier stages of selecting some of those common tools. But good news is, I think it's going to improve?
-Our MBOs get adjusted fairly often. Not a huge deal, but since they do make up a small portion of our pay-out it would be nice to be more consistent quarter over quarter vs. changing it up all the time.
