Pros

-Great office setting & culture -Great learning experience for new grads -Ok benefits

Cons

The pay is just extremely low and does not justify all the other pros. Quotas can be unrealistic especially if you have a bad market. They constantly say that they are making changes but it never results in what the employees are asking, Its like you order a cake and complain to the baker that it doesn't taste good, so they bring it to the back and bring out the same cake but change the frosting. Same results just made prettier(restructured). It seems like they through all these tiny benefits at you to justify compensation but its really is not worth a pay cut. Pretax Transit/Parking spending account? That is awesome but its not worth pay cut. Offering equity to employees doesn't help with higher cost of living and inflation. Even with the new comp plans for BDR's it still is not up to current markets, in fact, our OTE are sometimes the base salary at other companies. It's just a major red flag when that is the number one complaint across all areas of business and they do everything but increase pay to market rates.

Sorry to hear your frustration and appreciate the feedback--we've made some recent changes on the promotion path side of things that I am hoping will help with BDR career growth and total comp within the first two years but understood on your feedback and will ensure our team hears it too. Sincerely, Katie

Pros

Great people, everyone is so understanding and supportive. Culture is fun and energizing, people seem happy to be here. There's lots of ways to get involved outside of your day job. Awesome benefits and flexibility - love the remote first work environment, week of rest, open PTO, etc. Robust tech stack - lots of tools available for me to do my job.

Cons

Experiencing some growing pains but leadership seems receptive to feedback on it.

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.
