Pros

Probably was a great place to work from ~2017-2021. Healthy office culture. Very encouraging and not cutthroat at all. Definitely peaked during the pandemic (2020 - 2021).

Cons

All deals that closed were inbound leads of course which you have no control over as an AE. Top AEs get fed deals and that's why they hit quota. Leadership was a bunch of ex-CareerBuilder execs.

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
