Pros

Not many compared to the majority of startups. I do think the product is one of the best on the market and believe they have a competitive advantage.

Cons

The culture as a whole is dreary, and stressful for employees. I didn't feel valued at all, and the focus is only on the negative. There is constant turnover (management included) and even more than I know as everything is done in a hushed manner. Salary is well below average. The bottom line is always cost and that's more than evident in every decision made. The few perks there are, aren't worth it. The executive team will undermine management, and micromanage.

Pros

Great benefits and great people to work with. The product itself is a great and superior product.

Cons

No training. No pipeline. No real support for SMB. You are basically a glorified SDR. Any real leads come from events or if you have good install base accounts. Hardly any good inbounds come and and if you do get a good and decent size inbound, they take it away from you to give to a mid-market rep. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. If you don't mind constantly grinding, go for it. Otherwise, I would recommend looking else where.
