Pros

The pay was great and the people on the ground were really committed to the product and making it a success! Such a great product!

Cons

They have no idea how to sell or market the product or any idea of what they want to be (trust me, I've been in meetings with execs in person and they are all lost asking for advice) which has led to half the company being laid off. An elementary school kid could do better at running this but unfortunately a bunch of amateurs are in charge. They hired way too many people way too fast without any revenue to support it and then laid them all off. They'll be belly up in a year sadly

Pros

Great BDR team, a lot of collaboration

Cons

I do not have any cons to share. However, quota could be difficult to reach without attending conferences. There are many opportunities to attend them though

Pros

Having the insight to see immediately this company was not going anywhere. First sign, CEO vaping and oozing nepotism during onboarding.

Cons

Zero direction or business planning acumen. Bloated departments across the org, especially leadership. More C suite titles than $B companies. C suite was a bunch of bros with zero accountability or KPIs. Single product with low ASP, no sales strategy, marketing messaging inconsistent & completely toxic culture riddles with HR violations going unchecked.
