Pros

Great product and great investments being made into the product.

Cons

Was once one of the best places to work. Sales reps are under paid and over worked. Company is quick to PIP a rep and fire them before they even get a chance to get off the PIP. Leaderships feedback to reps in every meeting is to "Call more", senior sales reps have become micromanaged back into becoming full time BDRS. High turn over, reps are here and they are gone.

Pros

Positive Culture: The people and immediate team members are genuinely kind, collaborative, and supportive. Work-Life Flexibility: A true 100% remote work environment that offers great day-to-day flexibility. Solid Perks on Paper: The benefits package explicitly includes an unlimited PTO policy.

Cons

The "Unlimited PTO" Trap: While the company advertises unlimited PTO, it is impossible to take without penalty. If you take time off, you are still strictly required to make up every single call you missed while you were gone to hit your monthly metrics. Declining Direction & High Turnover: The company has faced a very rough year and is heading in the wrong direction. Morale is incredibly low, and talent is actively draining from the organization—several people are resigning entirely, going on medical leave due to stress, or desperately trying to transfer to different internal teams. Unrealistic, Extreme CSM Metrics: Customer Success Managers are being pushed to the brink by unattainable, rigid KPIs. The role has shifted from strategic relationship management to a high-volume, transactional grind. Current monthly expectations include: 80 calls per month 76% connected call rate for low-usage accounts 50% engagement rate required for at-risk accounts Stagnant Compensation: Despite the extreme increase in workload, micromanagement, and pressure, the annual raise for CSMs this year was under 2%, which fails to align with basic cost-of-living adjustments.
