Pros

Great product, which is revolutionary for the industry.

Cons

Unrealistic, discouraging training program that critiques every little thing you do, which doesn’t stop after completing the training. Extremely micromanaged, down to every detail of the sales process which is discouraging for a sales rep at any level of experience. Management is inexperienced and seems to be promoted based off of only sales numbers vs skill and people management. Was difficult to navigate through company politics and unfair advantages given to more tenured reps. The territories were not valid in terms of opportunity nor were fair and comparable to other reps in surrounding areas. The territory seemed to seal the fate of your success, if you did not have an evenly mixed territory of urban and rural parts you were set up for failure. I would not recommend this company to anyone I know or care about.

Pros

-Strong pay (if you hit your numbers) -Ambitious goals that challenge you -Competitive landscape that will force you to get better beyond exclusively selling -Founders still very involved and very visible to the company and employees -Team cultures are always strong -For sales, you always get in touch with prospects, which is an underrated pro -When leadership promotes internal mobility and career development they mean it and support it

Cons

-Numerous Sales teams that share the same markets/TAMs. Customers and prospects get exhausted of outreach - Since going public, the goal posts keep moving forward even if 60% of the org hit goal. -A number of core leaders have left, new ones still learning the ropes which was hindering the orgs and teams
