Pros

This company has a clear direction and goal. Every morning, the CEO leads an all-hands call where he provides key strategic updates, and the CRO reviews daily sales performance. This helps make sure everyone in the company is aligned, knowledgeable, and working towards our corporate goal. Leadership in my team is strong as well. We're empowered to work independently, but always have support when we need it. Team members are encouraged to share their ideas and opinions, as well as to speak up if they notice anything that might become an issue. Several members of my team have been promoted, and the department is growing at a healthy pace. Overall, salary and benefits are strong, and I feel like we have a good work/life balance. There is also a monthly bonus game, where everyone in the company is rewarded based on overall sales performance, which is awesome.

Cons

Work is fast paced, so this environment isn't for everyone. You need to be a strong performer and self-motivated to be successful here.

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.
