Pros

In the years I was at InsideSales, I learned from a lot from talented and experienced sales leaders. Unfortunately, those same people have all moved on and taken their skills elsewhere.

Cons

Here's an example of who's left in the last 6-8 months, and you decide if this is a company worth working at, or a product worth buying. 2 CFO, 2 CMO, CRO, SVP Alliances, 2 SVP enterprise sales, Chief Customer Officer, SVP commercial sales, VP commercial sales. All the above left voluntarily, and most were there less than two years (one CFO was there for literally a week). There are countless other leaders who have left. The sales team is down to a handful of reps with basically no management right now. The common reason for all these leaders leaving (who were big shots at places like Salesforce, oracle, Citrix): Dave Elkington. He is running his company into the ground because everything has to be done his way. Don't believe the hype - this company is not a unicorn. Unicorns don't lose deals constantly to competitors who weren't even in business a year ago.
