Pros

- Promising company - Peers were great - Good pay, and nice time off policy - Tons of training

Cons

- A few higher up leadership positions were not very welcoming, and even talked behind others back - It may be a promising company, but as a sales rep you want a company that sells itself, it’s a bit niche which can make getting sales hard - Hope you get good AE’s (account executives) because some hook up Sales reps to fill quotas and others not so much (it’s pretty unfair) - one of the “best” sdr’s “played the system” and it is safe to say others have done similar but haven’t been caught yet - they tell you to have work-life balance, and I notice other comments say that is true, but not if you plan to be in the sales department, you must always work to reach quota and if not you will be outcasted

Pros

Carta has a strong product, a respected brand, and many talented employees who are passionate about their work. The company moves quickly and provides opportunities to work alongside smart colleagues across the organization.

Cons

The culture can feel cliquish and political, where success is sometimes influenced more by relationships and visibility than impact. Leadership frequently shifts priorities, creating confusion around expectations and making it difficult to execute effectively. There can also be a disconnect between executive leadership and the realities faced by teams, while managers are not always equipped to provide clear guidance, advocate for their teams, or help navigate competing priorities.
