Pros

Meet a lot of great people there. Product itself is actually really good. They make the “ culture” very believable

Cons

Over promise and under deliver. Disgusting display of a “sales organization” uneven playing field amongst employees. Only certain people have to follow the rules. Others basically do whatever they want and get moved forward. You can be a top 5 performer there and they will find some excuse to not move you forward to give someone else your promotion with a worse actual sales performance. Managers don’t do anything except have morning meets and evening ones then spend the whole day interviewing for more people because they loose so many people so fast. High churn rate from customers and employees. They fire certain people for not hitting their “metrics” while others who don’t get promoted. They pick who they want to move forward. Has nothing to do with performance or skill set.
