Pros

The friends you make. Free lunches.

Cons

When you're being recruited, its standard practice to take what the recruiters and employees say with a grain of salt. But the inconsistencies are too glaringly obvious. From the promise to promotion in 3-6 months, to never having a team not hit quota, to the CONSTANT changes in metrics. Management plays favorites, and promotes quickly for business need, while leaving high achievers in the dust. The sales floor is quite and filled with crushed optimism. The direct managers care and work hard for their teams, but it seems like there is a large disconnect between managers and directors+. I would STEER CLEAR of joining this org. P.S. all of the 5 star reviews are made while people are at bootcamp, less than 1 month into their tenure

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
