Pros

Medium sized company, fast decision making, CEO being a MIT professor is certainly an advantage when it comes to creating company culture -- very focused and not afraid to take risks. Ideas are valued but execution more so. Great perks -- free breakfast, dinner, snacks, company transportation. The company does serious work, but doesn't take itself so seriously --- fun loving and collaborative culture. Great leadership.

Cons

It takes some time initially to settle to the fast moving culture and decision making, but once you do, you'd enjoy the flow of work and collaboration.

Pros

Remote, unlimited pto, health benefits, wellness days

Cons

Complex tools, products and processes. It's mostly all cold calling which is a grind. Morale is at all time low across entire department. Quotas change mid month. No career opportunities... at all. 99% of sdrs have been sdrs for years with no advancement but we're treated like it's an entry level role
