Pros
Bizzabo has a strong vision of who they want to be. There's a lot of data tracking and discussion about how to get there. The software development team in Israel is fast to release new features and work with the marketing team to start promoting. Management does not constrain with rules about territory or price, everything is based on what you can get away with. If you work really hard, you can earn well as the commission plan has accelerators (and penalties). There's great benefits, beer on tap, opportunities to travel, dogs in the office, ping pong table, expensive dinners, lots of social activities and other perks that trendy start-ups offer to attract young talent. The attitude is that its the investors' money anyway so might as well spend it!
Cons
There's a clearly double standards for different groups of employees. As the co-founders are all former Israeli military personnel, there's a lot of internal propaganda and pep talks about values. There's even a Zionist slogan written on the wall as you enter the office "If you will it, it is no dream." The goal is to create a cult called the "Bizza-Family", so that employees will work much longer hours and overlook obvious shortcomings. Even when nobody is in the office there are constant emails, Whatsapp and Slack messages. Advancing in the sales team is based on friendship with the Vice President. He's filled openings with his drinking buddies who are promoted within a few months of joining. Women on the sales team are expected to wait years for promotions that men get in just a few months. The lack of ethnic diversity is also concerning; there have been very few minority employees and only 1 has remained for more than a few months.
