Pros
Great learning and development, customers love the product, my leadership gives me tons of support to try new things and be independent but are immediately accessible if I need help. There are tons of growth opportunities in several departments.
In my current role, I frequently have recruiters reach out on linked in and occasionally will do the interview just to stay fresh on what's out there. 9/10 times the total comp is 70% tops of what my current earnings are. The salary is good, commissions are generous, lots of stock at year-end, ESPP, 401k match, L&D budgets, insurance provided, and more vacation than I have ever even wanted to use.
Hindsight being 20/20 I can't believe I even bothered applying for other companies years ago.
Cons
When a team grows so fast like Smartsheeet it's like a toddler learning to walk with some of the internal processes which are just natural growing pains. The hardest part of my job is that customers love Smartsheeet and want to connect to talk about it as often as possible which means I have to be intentional with my time and making sure I have time to do my actual sales job not just experimenting and collaborating with customers.
