Thank you for taking the time to share this review. Helping employees feel balanced is very important to us, so it is disappointing to hear you feel stressed and anxious. I strongly encourage you to take advantage of our wellness resources, such as our flexible PTO and mental health benefits. Additionally, please reach out to your manager or People Success Partner to discuss ways we can better support you.
Fantastic company culture and excellent, full support from a highly collaborative cross-functional team that genuinely wants to see enterprise deals succeed. Overall, it is well inclusive and supportive company culture.
Cons
Rapidly changing product landscape can occasionally make cross-functional alignment a bit complex.

-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
