Pros

Decent office and hybrid work

Cons

- Sales leadership turnover (4 sales leaders in 6 months), take a hint, the product isn't competitive - C-suite team is driven by decisions by board, and don't hold themselves account (primarily CEO, he's a tree hugger trying to play business) and misaligned on brand/mission - They don't pay commission out to respective AE's and most tenured AE (in energy industry) is rewarded - Extremely limited number of accounts you can actually work - Rev Ops/BD/Ops team lead is a joke and needs serious work. Processes are extremely messy - No product market fit, I can't express this enough. You are competing with other commodity suppliers that have lengthy relationships with businesses. - Even with giving the product away for free customers don't want it - BD team does absolutely nothing for the business I could go on, but this is a awful place to work if you'd like to make money and build a career in sales. Don't waste your time, look elsewhere.

Pros

You get to work on hugely impactful problems of decarbonization and affordability in energy. The team is driven, collaborative, and sharp. There is lots of flexibility in how the team works and very little micro-management. There is a clear product-market fit and pathway to success for the business.

Cons

Typical startup growing pains - decent amount of turnover and lack of institutional support that a larger company would have.
