Sorry to hear that and thanks for the review--my experience with our sales team is that they are competitive with themselves but collaborative with one another, so much so that I frequently hear reps helping each other with deals and managers helping reps from other teams support prospects and customers, so my hope is that your experience was an exception not the rule, but happy to connect offline if you'd like to chat further on this. I would agree that the sales team is a high growth opportunity for folks who are high performers, so glad to hear that was the case for you here! Sincerely, Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
