Pros

-onboarding package: they give you airpods and some tshirts -product does well in the market -you can get a lot of handouts if you're in the inner circle -if you are fresh out of college and want to party with your colleagues and bro out, this isn't a bad move for you

Cons

-first time managers constantly micromanaging you: how many calls did you make today, how many opps did you open this week, how many trials did you send -cut throat culture: if you miss 1 quarter and your manager/director doesn't like you, you're fired -extreme nepotism: if you're not in the inner circle or drink the koo-laid and be a slack hero, don't expect to get a good territory or be promoted -frat culture: expect a ton of meatheads banging their chest around the office thinking they know how to sell when the reality is they got in at the company early -expectation to be in the office during covid: this is pretty wild, but still true

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
