Pros

-Great company culture. Smart and friendly co-workers. Supportive work environment. -Strong executive leadership who care about the people. -Massive addressable market, lots of opportunities for growth. -Great benefits and compensation. Flexible PTOs, free lunch, work from home.

Cons

-Manager has no experience or interest in developing, coaching or helping the team. -He is more concern about his own targets, has no idea on how to help the reps succeed. -Only appears when it's near quarter-end to chase reps to set more meetings. -More than half the team have not met their targets. Team morale has become very low. -Not open to feedback, loves to micro-manage, and often shoots down good ideas/initiatives. -Praise reps who hit their targets through questionable practices.

Pros

- Market-leading product - Huge addressable market - Flexible working hours - Rest and recharge days - Weekly free lunch - Transparent C-level team - Beautiful office - Good diversity

Cons

- Unrealistic targets. Many people are not hitting targets, not even close. Some even got PIPed for reasons beyond their control (e.g. AEs, territories) - Low compensation. Salary is lower compared to similar roles in the market. - Poor career progression and development. Many high performing SDRs have left in the past 6 months as there is no chance of promoting into other roles.

Pros

Culture was great before the en masse exodus of strategic leadership from 2022 till early 2023.

Cons

Non-existential culture, workplace bullying, heavy politicking, sexual harassment. There are many things that went wrong that has been covered up by the leaders of this organisation. Good people get buried and great talent get ousted.
