Pros

just the snacks. (i have to add more words here cuz apparently you need more than 5 words for Pros)

Cons

if you're considering a job here, make sure you read the NEGATIVE reviews, and know that they're true. if you're okay with all of it, then go for it! i will keep this short, but know that the good reviews on here are canned and written by the early employees that got all the benefit, got promoted, and are sliding doing very little work. If you're reading this because you were aggressively recruited, know that the negative reviews are entirely TRUE. If you can see yourself being okay with it, then by all means join a company that pays below average and micromanages you to the bone. I'm trying to save even one person from potentially MOVING to a new subpar city for a job that they will end up hating. If I can save you the pain, this would be a success. They force you to be in the office, even when theres an Covid cases testing positive in the office. It's not one or two or three disgruntled or even fired employees. Its the masses of us (cuz there are masses - 10 new AEs every week!) who were duped into starting at this company, pulled away from our great previous employers, sold the dream, only to hate our lives because of terrible leadership and culture. Save yourself from 1. feeling like you have to stay because you dont want to look like a job hopper 2. being a job hopper. i implore you to reach out to a few new reps on linkedin - reps that have been there for less than 6 months (theres a lot of them) ask them if they like it, and watch them be hesitant.

Pros

- Nice Office - Free Lunch - Good Product

Cons

- If you want to spend your entire day cold calling, this is a great place to go (this is not an exaggeration). Marketing DOES NOT help you fill 20% of your pipeline as they say they do. - Bunch of foul mouthed frat boys from Danville (if you're not in the click, you're out) - Zero manager help to either develop you as a rep or set you up for success in the role - No manager will ever take responsibility for their short comings and will blame you if things fall through. - If you're in the wrong territory and don't have a pre-existing network of resellers and an underdeveloped territory, forget the concept of making money or being successful. There is zero help in this area so not only are you responsible for finding new business but also responsible for finding people to sell for you. - HR violations are all over the place, women are constantly put in awkward positions based on some of the comments I've heard. - If you want to work for managers that haven't actually hit their own number but got promoted because of their social connections, then take a closer look. - Hopefully you don't live in SF because that commute gets real old. - Also the pay is not great, other start ups pay more. Bottom line: Not worth it.. there are much better places to work where you can feel like a human being, make more money and not feel like you're working in a sweatshop.

Pros

Pay is decent but that’s the only thing I can think of

Cons

This is strictly a review of the culture/atmosphere in our sales department. Toxic atmosphere created by a lot of the senior sales reps and leadership. Definitely has a strong boys club/fratty feel around the sales floor. Many people have voiced concerns but nothing. There was even an incident with some of the senior members of the sales org involving the use of the Verkada cameras to take photos of female employees at the office and sharing in a slack channel - can you say creepy?!? And guess what...none of those people were fired for their involvement. Basically, it seems like the entire sales org is structured to protect and reinforce the inner circle - a bunch of guys that either worked together previously or come from the same friend circles. Simply put, this isn’t a healthy or supportive work environment. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere - I am.
