Pros

Young office and great people You will learn a decent amount This taught me to REALLY appreciate past and future jobs/companies

Cons

Understaffed, underpaid unless you are extremely senior. Compensation is almost pyramid scheme-esque. Your first 3-5 years in this sale role you will be making anywhere from a quarter of a percent to (max) two percent commission while your manager or director makes the other 9%. INSANE. 60-80 hour weeks for 40k/year

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
