Pros

Great and Mature Pre-sales org. Good training and a strong feeling of team support. No micro management. Can be very successful and many opportunities given to grow and change roles

Cons

Very flat structure. looks to have work load in waves. Promotion rounds are slow (1-2 years). Bonused not commisioned, so a lot less pressure but no way to make 150% OTE etc

Pros

They hardly ever fire anyone.

Cons

They hardly ever fire anyone. Comp plan is terrible. You get paid on Opportunities sources but there isn't any criteria written down on what makes a discovery call turn into an opportunity. Leading them to cherry-pick deals and choose if you get paid or not. They don't have product market fit. The entire new logo space didn't close anything last year. Getting placed in a good, high paying seat is all dependent upon nepotism. No clear path for growth. Constantly moving the goal post and changing promotion criteria. The promotion path leads you to a role that has historically not closed a deal and the role is a huge pay cut for some BDR's leading to high churn or career BDR's.
