Pros

Remote, very hands-off environment. Very smart people work here. Good sales enablement tools.

Cons

A lot of talk about growth, advancement, development... all the right buzz words that you want to hear as an eager professional wanting to grow a career in sales/tech... but sales executives are simply not willing (nor motivated/encouraged by the CEO) to promote internally or split territories. Don't expect to learn anything new here. Not a face-paced environment. Not a challenging role. If you are someone who is content with doing the same thing every single day for months and months, with little to no accountability and not adding new skills to your resume... this would be the position. Extremely frustrating environment for "go-getter" personalities, those who want to go above and beyond, or for those who want to get exposure to other fields in the tech business. Lot's of barriers to entry to do anything new or to get promoted. Management is not trained to manage. There is no process or operating plan. There is no review of performance. There are minimal metrics, which seems appealing in a sales role, but then you aren't actually able to measure success or show any sort of growth. CEO is very involved in every aspect of the sales team.

Pros

Colleagues are smart, innovative, and hard-working. Hands-off management in most teams. Internal career growth is very strong and Brightfield is a culture of continuous learning. Diversity of thought and personal backgrounds is truly valued, it is not part of marketing efforts. Unlimited PTO. Flexible working hours and working arrangements. Free employee health insurance. Colleagues who care about your life outside of work.

Cons

As with any 'non-essential' business, we are impacted by the whims of the economy. This can mean making pivots in priority and company direction in the face of big economic changes. No 401k match, which is a real bummer. No opportunity for in-person connection with others from the company. The remote work is convenient, but we would still benefit from getting to know each other in person, even though that can be expensive.
