Pros

- Full of talented and nice people - Relaxed dress code - Decent pay depending on role - Fruit every other day - Health insurance

Cons

- Management are imbeciles. Inexperienced and only promoted because they've been there the longest - Pay increases are rare to non-existent - Not much of a chance to be creative - Holiday and sick allowance - No chance of development whatsoever. No training. You can only move around in the company but you'll hardly ever be promoted or learn a new skill - Other than sales, they do not invest money in any other department - Long hours - They want 100% but will not match this with appropriate rewards

Pros

No pro’s whatsoever. If you’re thinking about joining this company, save yourself a headache and run.

Cons

“Burn and churn” culture with minimal long-term investment in employees. Limited support and inconsistent coaching from management. Quarterly quotas frequently change, directly impacting compensation and making earnings unpredictable. Commission, if you’re lucky to get any, gets paid every 3 months- if terminated, you lose out on THOUSANDS of your hard earned money Compensation does not align with responsibilities—BDRs are often expected to perform full-cycle sales functions similar to Account Executives on a low base salary, ($40,000) Once placed on a performance plan, there is little path to recovery and increased scrutiny follows. High-pressure onboarding environment—new hires are expected to close deals quickly, with limited ramp time. Promotions appear inconsistent and not always based on performance, which can impact team morale and leadership quality. Concerns raised to leadership or HR are not always addressed in a transparent or timely manner.
