      Pros

      Some nice colleagues, able to work from home

      Cons

      Managers that have never managed people before that have no idea how to lead. Toxic leadership that overlooks blatant HR violations. If you don’t fit in expect to be micromanaged and nit picked for every small “mistake”. Tons of turnover especially in sales. People are constantly leaving. Also your stats will be closely monitored and expect to be spoken to if you fall even slightly behind. Terrible pay. No diversity especially in management. And they highly encourage good reviews so read them with that in mind. Strangest place I’ve ever worked.

      We’re disappointed to hear your thoughts but thankful for your feedback. We would love some more information about the team you were on and the specific issues you felt you had with your leadership. If you would be willing to reach out to the People Operations team to provide us with more feedback, we would appreciate it. We would also like to note that we certainly do ask employees to leave feedback on Glassdoor, but we never ask for specifically good reviews. Glassdoor is a great tool for collecting anonymous feedback from employees so we can continue to improve our organization. We value every review left here - the good and the bad, so thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

      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.
