Pros

good pto policy and pay. able to do hybrid/wfh, holiday parties, some wfh equipment but honestly didnt bother using it Certification program/continuous learning Some people are really knowledgeable and are helpful

Cons

Colleagues repeat same mistakes after being notified, some people don't really follow the "do it right the first time" policy or even the policies that the org implements, gets frustrating with workload. Some meetings that could be handled with an email update or a slack conversation. Sort of feels like a trippy lucid dream when working here, everyone is "overly friendly" but the moment you say/do 1 bad thing, everyone does a complete 180 in personality change its wild lol, I saw it then experienced it. I aint telling you to not apply but just be careful and tread carefully cause they'll use that "at will employment" like a ban hammer before you can even blink with a pikachu shocked face.

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.
