Pros

Early on (i worked there in total for about 4.5 years) it was a youthful, fun, environment. Mgmt was pretty chill. Do the work and then go play some ping pong, video games, billiards, whatever. Free soda, coffee, bubbly water, etc.

Cons

For me, it became a dreadfully depressing environment. In my impression, lots of of people (myself included at the time) working below their potential, for not great pay, for a company that always seemed to be on the verge of imploding. After a certain age, free coffee and the availability of a ping-pong table aren't going to cut it. At least for a lot of people. Everyone works with headphones on and it just felt isolating and depressing. But from what I hear, at the end of 2023, it's going to be a fully-remote company in Chicago, so hey, at least the employees can work from the comforts of their own home now.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
