Pros

This is hands down the best corporate culture I've ever experienced, and I've been a working pro for over 20 years. It starts with the "ask me anything", transparent approach leadership takes with everything about the company from financials, to the mission, new developments, etc. We have a mostly no office policy which is quite refreshing. The CEO as well as most execs sit out in the open with everyone else. Some notable exceptions include members of accounting and cyber security, which just makes sense. There's some sensitive information there. Perks include company sponsored gym membership, free snacks, which include fruit, and a wide selection of free coffees and teas. We also have an open vacation policy: you take the time you need to refresh. We have a thorough hiring process that all but guarantees you'll be working with fun, talented, and dedicated people who are committed to helping our clients identify and avoid social engineering attacks--a worthy mission. I love that fact that leadership listens to our feedback. They are more than willing to try new things and evolve and we grow. Also, the daily stand ups each morning are a great way to stay on the pulse of what's happening around the company.

Cons

Our hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and even though leadership is flexible with appointments, emergencies, family priorities, etc. it would be nice to have more flexible everyday working options, especially for people who might not live in a closer proximity to the office.

Pros

Great office snacks, free ev charging, cool coworkers

Cons

Out of about 100 AE's only 10 hit Quota, OTE is a joke there. It's possible to hit quota if you are lucky with your inbound leads, but if you want to hit quota every month you have to do something moreso out of the box. I was trained by hard closers and have a lot of expierence with cold calls so i came up with my own script and was getting a demo a day, and was doing a demo a day. The demos did lead to sales as well, so it wasn't a waste of time. I got fired because of a "lack of professionalism" I spoke off script all the time because speaking on script leads you in to the Kool-aid drinkers club, aka not hitting quota consistently. I was fired without warning, even though I was told I had an incredible work ethic and was exceeding the ramp-up numbers. I just didnt match their sales style, they are not looking for salespeople, they are looking for sales associates. They make you work 9-hour days, 1 hour mandatory lunch that has to be taken in the middle of the day. 9-6pm. Their handbook even says you are allowed to take this lunch at 5 pm to go home sooner, but the managers never let that happen. DO NOT BE CREATIVE AT THIS JOB, DRINK THE JUICE.
