Pros

I've learned a lot during my time here, the roles are highly structured and they do a great job building a true sales and account management foundation. My coworkers are all very bright, team players who support each other throughout the challenges and growing pains that occur.

Cons

They are still trying to figure out their place in the market which causes a lot of reorgs and shifts. Unfortunately, a large number of people were laid off at the end of 2020 and this really hurt morale, while I understood needing to shift the focus of the company to focus on the Enterprise business, to lay off 60 people in the middle of a global crisis felt a bit heartless especially given the financial performance the company had just obtained.

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
