Pros

Meals provided? If that. Food has become inedible as the company has grown larger. Only true pro that comes to mind is getting my foot in the door of a new industry.

Cons

- it is a known fact that recruiters will say literally anything to you in order to get you to relocate. Relo package was subpar on top of that. - You’ll feel at home here if you enjoy working in a frat house. Music playing while you’re trying to work, smashing gongs and blasting music even louder whenever a deal over $50k comes in. - your success will depend solely on the territory you are assigned. I have seen people walk into a fully built out territory and start closing 6 figure deals within the first month, and I’ve seen even more crash and burn because the territories are split unevenly amongst AEs. This brings us to…. - Crazy high turnover. They are hiring so many new AEs that you will not be a person to them, only a number. In my tenure there was a mass firing AND a mass resignation.

Pros

- Free Lunch - Cool Product - Office is Fun - Great Yearly SKO

Cons

- Insane quotas with very small territory’s ($350,000+ per quarter as a low end MM2 Rep) - You could have 1200 accounts and be forced to sell 350,000 worth of security cameras every three months - PIPs are given out like candy - Hard to keep friends here because they all get fired around you - Managers receive top down pressure and places it on reps - Many reps have terrible anxiety and stress related issues (perceived as “normal”) - HUGE work related lawsuit just settled against us for $6B - Most of our competitors are significantly cheaper, making it tough to sell in low income patches - Blanket quotas across all patches, very unfair, some reps will have 5 times the amount of income/revenue in their patch - Reps who hit consistently praised with great patches - If you have a knowingly terrible patch, you are given 0 grace

Pros

I get to sell a best in class product, almost all reps/managers are friendly and highly talented, and the office culture is fun (managers plan cool events and the spiffs are always worth competing for). Free food and snacks in office.

Cons

Reckless and chaotic turnover rate (includes all roles); one of the lowest AE salaries across the tech industry; impossible/unattainable quotas in most sales territories; no consideration, discretion or adjustments given to the inequities in sales territories (quotas are the same across the board, no matter what); aggressive territory splits (including in the poor performing geographies); channel partners don't respect the org (mainly due to the turnover); and we have a culture of intense micro management.
