Pros

One of the best parts about working here is the strong support within the sales team. People are motivated and competitive, but not in a cutthroat way. Everyone is genuinely invested in each other’s success, which helps reps consistently hit their quotas, which isn’t always the case in sales. The team also does a great job of recognizing top performers each month, which keeps morale high. On top of that, there are real opportunities for career growth, with a solid number of promotions happening each year,

Cons

cycle brings great energy and the feeling of “fresh starts,” but it also means the pressure to hit targets is always present. That said, the team’s collaboration and camaraderie make it much more manageable, and even fun at times.

Pros

Nice office environment with free food and drinks available. The gym and company perks are a nice bonus. There are also some genuinely good people on the team who make the workplace more enjoyable.

Cons

Management can feel overly political, and some managers appear to give more attention and opportunities to favorites rather than treating employees consistently. While the company talks about supporting mental health, the day-to-day culture does not always reflect that message. There is also growing uncertainty about long-term job stability as AI becomes more integrated into the work.
