Pros

Nothing is a big enough pro to warrant destroying your mental health at this awful company. If you think a benefit of "unlimited holidays" is something, try taking days off when you're in SMB sales you'll be totally punished for taking time for yourself if it means falling behind on the 20 calls a day you're supposed to do. Tragic.

Cons

Where do I begin! - Quotas totally unattainable - Constant internal meetings and zero office culture if you're a remote worker, by this I mean if you do go in on certain days it's literally boring and quite cliquey with the people that go in more often. - They pretend to care about mental health and employee wellbeing but it's just for image. Run a mile if you want to stay happy and healthy. - I was put on a PIP and then had to take a month off for my mental health with a doctors note. When I came back, there was no reintegration plan and I was fired 2 weeks later. Nobody from People Ops reached out to check how I was doing following a month off due to poor mental health prior to being fired, it was clear they didn't care to reintegrate me so anything they tell you about constant coaching and growth is a complete lie. - I had to take 6 months off from working as a whole to become a functioning person again.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
