Pros

-Fully Remote - Unlimited PTO (they actually mean unlimited can take time whenever) - Work anywhere in the world no questions asked - Base Pay is good depending on where you live - Product Market fit is exceptional - Product Improving all the time - Options may be worth a lot if you stick with it for 4 years (likely will be an exit of some type) - Promote internally - Comp Reviews regularly - CEO is very good compared to others in this space

Cons

-Very few people hitting sales targets. Those that are, are "ranchers" which are hybrids or "farmers" account managers. Those in New Business are not anywhere near hitting. Targets are crazy versus deal size. Best accounts are in a few people's names who are ranchers which makes no sense - New Business AE's have very bad prospects due to poor CRM management - you will not succeed here unless they change things. - Benefits are expensive or simply not good enough. US Employees pay thousands per month for coverage, in other countries the benefits aren't comprehensive compared to working in similar tech companies. - Things constantly change, if you come from an established company you will hate every moment here - Very slow. So hard to get things done cross-functionally. It's very bad for sales, it can take weeks to get things resolved. You ask for help and people never get back to you or just mark a ticket as closed - As it's a remote company, you get people who are lone wolves, have no interest in a team atmosphere, and are just bad people. - 80% of the company do very little work, just post pictures of them working remotely on LinkedIn and their diary is just them having coffee chats with peers and walking their dogs

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. You’re right - working in new business is hard. In the current environment, most companies are paying close attention to costs and are scrutinising every purchase. That said, driving new business is the most critical pillar of our strategy and we must (as you point out) invest in building the data, tooling and capability needed to become really good at this - which is exactly what we are doing. As we invest heavily in our acquisition strategy and all the supporting infrastructure, I expect Account Executives to benefit as those investments yield. As an example, we are adding significant SDR headcount which is dramatically changing the SDR to AE ratio and taking lead generation to the next level. We appreciate you sharing this detailed feedback with us. I also agree with you that we have work to do internally on streamlining our operations to move more quickly, particularly on the most complex cross-functional issues. This is a work in progress. We are investing in scaling our Customer Experience function, which will assist in alleviating some of the operational load from the Sales team. Like you, I’m very optimistic about the outlook for the future of the company. And with the investments that we’re making in supporting new business, I’m equally confident about our ability to unlock a new level of productivity and success in the new business sales organization. Chris, CRO.
