Pros

Growth is huge and it's a great company that will likely IPO in the next couple years which could pay well on equity. The product is constantly improving. Easy to sell to ICP and at least compete with a lot competitors.

Cons

They revamped the commission structure and it's now based on variable instead of a percentage of bookings. They did this with a few days left in march and it came into effect immediately. for reference i made about 1/3 of what I did the month before with similar sales numbers. Enacted R90 which is essentially a 2nd quota that penalizes if you don't hit your number, but does not reward you for hitting/exceeding the number it can cut your commission check by 30%. Not a good system at all less than 30% of the org hit it this last month.

Pros

Great leadership and work culture

Cons

Commission could be a little better. Also lots of changes but that’s expected with a company that’s still in the startup phase

Pros

none. Do NOT be fooled by them in interviews. They are insane. If I had to pick one, high pay if you manage to last.

Cons

Managers here will make you feel like you personally wronged them and their entire bloodline. Nitpicky about everything, every single thing you do is tracked and ridiculed, and in the time I was there (not long) more than 5 good people were fired for missing their number for ONE MONTH or for not being a "culture fit." run for the hills. they do not care about their employees. they are chasing a number and don't care how they get there. so toxic I cried almost every single day. oh also zero care for work life balance. meetings routinely going past 5pm, getting ostracized for not staying later and arriving before work starts. I could probably go on for a while just don't work here
