Pros

Company culture is great. Awesome benefits as well as great people to work with. As far as the sales department, they provide excellent training as well as a real nice tech stack (Outreach, ZoomInfo, Gong, Salesforce).

Cons

Sales department could either use some reconstruction or the compensation needs to be upped. Pay for BDR’s is on the lower end, especially for running qualification calls before handing them to an AE.

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.
