I’ll just summarise:
- For a long time I worked 10-13 hour work weeks. Eventually they put into place an overtime program but only top performing reps could request time. This led to people working extra hours and not logging their time honestly, to ensure that they could keep up with the pace.
- My boss showing up late to multiple meetings because they overslept. Or the constant use of explicit language…
- People getting fired left and right. People also getting hired left and right. Survival of the fittest. In fact, their entire sales organisation is built on this model.
- Demo day? Don’t even let me get started…
My advice to anyone in their early 20s getting out of college: don’t put yourself through this. There are so many other, better, modern, tech startups to work at, that won’t milk you dry.
