Pros

The corporate philosophy is well summed up by the 3 golden rules; do it fast, do it right the first time, have fun while you do it. This creed is visible throughout the company, people are bustling around and the environment has noticeable hum of activity. It's one of those places where you like to come in and see everyone and get your work done. Free snacks, flexible vacation, team activities, and reliable company bonuses certainly assist in keeping spirits up. Internally there are opportunities for expansion between roles, people move around as the company grows.

Cons

The free snacks are a bit on the healthy side, if you're more likely to identify as a squirrel you'll be fine. If you've got a sweet tooth you have to make friends with the right people to get the good stuff. Seriously, there isn't much worth complaining about. Benefits are good but not great, they're up for review.

Well, we have changed up the snacks a ton! We have also added a vending machine with all the goodies a sugar hound could love. :) Also we listen to our employees and have constantly improved our benefits package for all employees.

Training and onboarding process is thorough but only to ensure all employees are keeping themselves and the companies information safe online!

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.
