Pros

- Platform: it really is amazing. It is just as powerful as its two main competitors, but it is so much easier to use. It demos very well and people know who we are. - Innovation: They are making changes and improving the platform. - People: I keep waiting for people to be rude or not helpful. Just not going to happen. The culture is solid.

Cons

- The Corporate Division is a combo of mid market and small enterprises. Just know that. We are not going into the enterprise market anytime soon (as a company effort). There is a lot of greenspace still to grab in the 200-2000 market. Just make sure you understand that and you will be closing a lot of small deals. If that is what you want to do, then this is the place. - Despite what leadership says, it is a lottery in terms of getting good or big leads. Now, you can do a lot with your BDR and increase your luck for sure, but the big deals come down to pure luck. I will say you still need good sales folks to close them. Getting the big lead is where the luck stops. - Terriroties are crazy. It is a team territory, and you get 50-70 top companies, and then you build your territory from there. It is nuts. There is so much to learn when you get her, and you have to worry about making sure you have the correct type of companies in your territory. - Everything that folks are saying about the division is mostly true. In the Corporate Division, you will be put in a special club (they actually call it a club) if you make below 70% in any given single month. If you blow out your quarter in the first month, then are below 70% the next month, you go on it. This is very much a micromanaging company. - 90% of the front line mangers are just there to report and move people out. It is actually bad for a manager to have a team of tenured reps as they will have full numbers. If you can sell, you will blow out your ramp number (which is VERY generous at 10+ months). We have a leadership issues. The second line are not much better as they were just promoted up with a small business mentality. - Onboarding is a joke. If you cannot or not willing to learn how to demo on your own, don't come here. Managers do nothing to help. Now, if you are good, and willing to work, being able to demo the product is a HUGE weapon. You will have to be self taught. - C level leadership is trying to make a one size fits all for each division for processes. Makes zero sense but I see why they are doing it. - You can make a great living here and sell an amazing platform, but just be aware of what you are getting into.

Hi there, thanks for the pretty direct feedback on sales, tough as some of it is to read. There's a lot to improve from it, but what I'm most focused on is the onboarding and the fact that folks don't feel like they are getting help from their managers if they are stuck. If you're comfortable doing so, please send me an email with what you're seeing so I can follow up on it. If you don't, I totally understand and respect that, but to me that's one I want to ensure we dig in on as a team. Thanks for the feedback either way and have a great weekend, Katie

Pros

Great people, everyone is so understanding and supportive. Culture is fun and energizing, people seem happy to be here. There's lots of ways to get involved outside of your day job. Awesome benefits and flexibility - love the remote first work environment, week of rest, open PTO, etc. Robust tech stack - lots of tools available for me to do my job.

Cons

Experiencing some growing pains but leadership seems receptive to feedback on it.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
