Cons
This company hires really smart people that could do amazing things with their podcast product. But if you’re smart, then stay away. The company is like any startup trying to figure out their niche and market - do your homework. They are a 10+ year old startup that has a fleeting customer base of their video platform because the product is impossible to customize and use unless you’re a developer. Their internal podcast product has promise, but the CEO’s sales strategy and lack of people management skills could be its downfall. Only join as a sales rep if you like process, pricing, pitch, and opp qualification factors changing every day (often you’re not told when those change). If you appreciate the CEO joining your sales calls and derailing a deal by creating a bad customer buying experience- this is the job for you. Company tenure is about 9 months for the sales team. Either you leave because you want to save your sanity or you are laid off for not becoming a ‘yes’ man to the CEO.
