Pros

You get some cool swag, if swag makes up for selling your soul for pennies on the dollar. I was in recruiting for sales- so I can give you the lowdown on both recruiting and sales. Unless you are coming off the street with zero experience and desperation is your middle name I would steer clear.

Cons

You make a fraction of what they sell you in the interview process. If you aren't a favorite with a good territory the likelihood you even hit your low ball OTE is a joke. Your stock options are also comical- but they will sell you that IPO dream like it's Martin Luther King's I have a dream speech. Sales Leadership is a frat boy president hazing his newest pledges. Unfortunately recruiting is just at the hands of sales decision making. If you are recruiter and you love mass messaging people/ convincing people to move across the country a subpar role this place will be your jam. Taylor swift 10 minute version All Too Well kind of jam. It's all they care about. Your numbers are a number and you and your sales reps you hire are a disposable number.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
