Pros

Flexible work, good colleagues, open communication.

Cons

*Constant changes to EVERYTHING which is resulting in internal confusion and impossibility to follow objectives, *Diligent One platform...it exists but seems an abstract object. *You will be pushed to engage with clients that do not want to engage and finding reasons to talk with them for any thing. *Customer First seems like customer last sometimes. *Boards is Dil's cash cow, but you will deal with more than one product and feel lost. They are complex and take time to learn. Management knows but doesn't care it seems. *Some products from past acquisitions are not working great and you still have to manage the relationship. *Gaps in payments to employees , unfair differences. *High turnover. *Throws thousands in big events but has employees chasing bonuses like donkeys behind carrots. *Several good colleagues have been let go because of your impossible objectives and messed up internal processes. *Stress is real here. I feel I would have been on sick leave if I didn't need to work. But even this has a limit.

Pros

Decent pay, unlimited PTO and good benefits

Cons

Leadership will tell you want you want to hear to keep you focused on being a BDR instead of helping you get promoted. Majority of AE type roles are not posted internally and do a ton of external hiring instead of promotions.
