Pros

- Great wage - Chances to travel - A chance to be a part of a company that’s pre IPO and is going places. If you can handle the negatives the rewards are good.

Cons

Certain people rule the roost and will bully you if you don’t do things their way, whether they’re your boss or not. They’ll treat you like trash and try to control you, meanwhile your actual manager will wilt and let them do it because they bring the money in. Be prepared to have credit stolen for achievements, conflicting instructions, micromanagement and all wrapped up in endless training, meetings, planning and nonsensical talks about how great the company is and goats (yes - goats). If you’ve got the patience of a saint then go for it but if you’re in any way individualistic or just want to get on with the job then this isn’t for you. They will flush you out. Don’t let the self proclaimed prestige of being here or the wage blind you to the toxicity going on.

Pros

Tech is still incredible and customers are buying - by far, the biggest pro. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side and there are a ton of startups out there that present a lot of risk vs. a more stable startup like Cribl. There are great and smart people who work here, but a lot are fleeing due to all of the change (per comments below).

Cons

Micromanagement has increased significantly with new rigid processes being implemented. For the tenured sellers here, it feels like we are being treated as if we are brand new to the job. Sales leadership is completely uninspiring, doesn’t show any care for employees and retaining great people Turnover picking up significantly Territory largely determines success Quotas significantly increasing, territories decreasing, and comp plans are much worse this year Path to promotion is not visible
