Pros

Product is best in the industry Easy to demo, not complicated technology Monthly bonus game is a great way to get the entire company bought in each month Daily stand ups, can seem repetitive, but I felt much more in the loop here than other organizations Lot of support from sales performance coaches to help you improve

Cons

Extreme micromanagement - from the day you start. Onboarding takes months - and you’re on camera from 9-6 pm so the trainers know you’re studying Once onboarded, weekly stat reviews as if you’re a bdr. Mostly covering call and email stats Run like a factory - was not allowed to take a sick day since teammates were on PTO Health insurance costs - highest I’ve ever seen at an employer Low salaries - pay is far below industry standard. The monthly bonuses are sold as an addition to your salary during recruiting but the goal was rarely hit while I was there

Pros

Great office snacks, free ev charging, cool coworkers

Cons

Out of about 100 AE's only 10 hit Quota, OTE is a joke there. It's possible to hit quota if you are lucky with your inbound leads, but if you want to hit quota every month you have to do something moreso out of the box. I was trained by hard closers and have a lot of expierence with cold calls so i came up with my own script and was getting a demo a day, and was doing a demo a day. The demos did lead to sales as well, so it wasn't a waste of time. I got fired because of a "lack of professionalism" I spoke off script all the time because speaking on script leads you in to the Kool-aid drinkers club, aka not hitting quota consistently. I was fired without warning, even though I was told I had an incredible work ethic and was exceeding the ramp-up numbers. I just didnt match their sales style, they are not looking for salespeople, they are looking for sales associates. They make you work 9-hour days, 1 hour mandatory lunch that has to be taken in the middle of the day. 9-6pm. Their handbook even says you are allowed to take this lunch at 5 pm to go home sooner, but the managers never let that happen. DO NOT BE CREATIVE AT THIS JOB, DRINK THE JUICE.
