Pros

- Remote with an option to go into an office - Overall positive atmosphere, without teetering on toxic positivity - Long-tenured engineering team - Visionary CRO giving some direction with intellectual leadership and market understanding

Cons

- The CEO is a nice person, but checked out and ready to retire. - Financials-driven vs. a marketing or sales-driven organization causing today's margins to affect the potential of tomorrow's work. Evershiting direction: While the product has always had a "Northstar," the company's GTM has always been unfocused and constantly changing. - Product leadership seems unaware of the shifts and strides forward the competition has made, and egos get in the way. - Great marketing team, but too underfunded to make a significant impact when competing against giants. This goes back to the company being run by the financial leadership. - Still unsure if they are a SaaS or Services Company

Pros

Great opportunities to work with bright minds and take on more responsibilities than your job description. I really enjoyed the opportunities I was presented with to start taking on more AE-type tasks as an SDR/BDR. Cool product as well.

Cons

Virtually no sales training or professional development paths. I was forced to rely on the AE's I was booking meetings for to provide expertise and coaching on the industries we prospect into. Also had to rely on them for the sales strategy and account penetration. The problem is, they were too busy! Unfortunalty I was told by my AE to qualify meetings before they would accept them, to protect their time. As you can imagine, this limited my opportunity to earn commission on booked meetings, which was a core KPI I had to hit. Unfortunately, there was not much structure around professional development, coaching, and the AE's and leadership were too busy or too far removed from modern-day prospecting to be helpful and invest in talent.
