Pros

Salary, bonus, free breakfast paid voluntary days

Cons

Constantly on your back to sell sell sell even though you’re employed as technical support. So many targets. Threatened with performance plans all the time. Even when you perform 10 out of 12 months if you miss 2 in a row or 2 in 3 you’re on a plan. All they care about is how many customers you get to buy SEB. Trap you with a good salary sell you a pipe dream give you a nightmare

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
