Pros

- Great Benefits and Office Culture: The perks and relaxed but exciting office culture make it a great place to work day to day. The Office-First culture is more than compensated for by the large budgets for lunch, socials and well stocked kitchens. - Fast Pace, Rapid Growth and Interesting Challenges: The AAE program in the UK has really found it's feet and for all of its challenges, the exposure to full-cycle tech sales at such a junior stage in a sales career makes it more than worth it. The opportunities for growth and development far outpace a traditional SDR to AE route. - Industry Leading Product and huge TAM: It really is an industry leading product that beyond impresses prospects who agree to see it in action. As the central value point is building security, it can be sold to almost any business and is continuing to snap up the market share of legacy competitors. - Team and Community Spirit: The individual teams in the London Office and the SMT as a whole make an active effort to involve everyone and integrate them into their team.

Cons

- 5 days a week in the office obviously doesn't work for everyone, but for someone at the start of their career, the exposure to colleagues who have already climbed the ladder is worth it. - When the office first opened there was a prevailing doctrine that a US style approach to sales could be dropped straight into Old Street. Over the last year however, the UK office has taken great strides in localising the sales approach and culture.

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.
