Pros

Great employees that care about the community and customers. There are continuous efforts for product development. They try to give raises regularly. If you can find time away from your work, there are various opportunities to attend fun airbnb events.

Cons

Managers do not have the time or ability to manage employees. There is talk about the importance of mental health, work-life balance and diversity, but there is little action to change practices to support the talk. Even when programs are put into place, leaders are not held accountable. So employees suffer from being overworked. The politics and favoritism only allow the promotions of the favorite employees who happen to be friends of leadership or those similar to the looks and personalities of leadership.

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
