Pros

- Nice Office - Free Lunch - Good Product

Cons

- If you want to spend your entire day cold calling, this is a great place to go (this is not an exaggeration). Marketing DOES NOT help you fill 20% of your pipeline as they say they do. - Bunch of foul mouthed frat boys from Danville (if you're not in the click, you're out) - Zero manager help to either develop you as a rep or set you up for success in the role - No manager will ever take responsibility for their short comings and will blame you if things fall through. - If you're in the wrong territory and don't have a pre-existing network of resellers and an underdeveloped territory, forget the concept of making money or being successful. There is zero help in this area so not only are you responsible for finding new business but also responsible for finding people to sell for you. - HR violations are all over the place, women are constantly put in awkward positions based on some of the comments I've heard. - If you want to work for managers that haven't actually hit their own number but got promoted because of their social connections, then take a closer look. - Hopefully you don't live in SF because that commute gets real old. - Also the pay is not great, other start ups pay more. Bottom line: Not worth it.. there are much better places to work where you can feel like a human being, make more money and not feel like you're working in a sweatshop.

Pros

Fun in-office culture. Makes going into the office everyday bearable Decent place if you are just starting your sales career. But only if you have never had any Tech Sales job in your life.

Cons

Mis-aligned leadership Favoritism Cliques Misleading during interview process on how well reps are doing as far as attaining OTE. Compensation is way below the industry average, both in salary and commission No care for their employees, effort and skill mean nothing if you're not a favorite of the leadership Unrealistic quotas with awful territory segmentation. Quotas only based on seniority level without taking the territory the reps are covering or historical data in mind I would never recommend that an experience AE work at this company. The leadership is awful, misguided, and inexperienced. They don't care about the actual skillset or experience their reps have. So many partners and companies have a bad taste in their mouth from bad experiences with this company, which makes it nearly impossible to foster relationships or expand your book of business in a timely manner. Recruiters and leadership will also lie to you about how well the office is doing and the ability to attain OTE. Only 32% of reps in this office are attainting over 50%, and I can't imagine how much worse other offices are doing . Churn is absolutely insane because those who are attaining over 50% have very lucrative zip codes with deals fed to them from leadership and/or pre-existing relationships. Your actual skillset does not make a difference at this company as far as performance or recognition. Stay away if you care about your career and making money long-term. I also need to add that this is the only company I have ever worked for where sexism is abundantly clear. From men clearly objectifying women, to women not being treated fairly when it comes to evaluations and lead distribution. I witnessed women being affected by this firsthand, and let me tell you HR is NOT on your side. Women beware.

Pros

The camaraderie amongst reps. Everyone is very willing to help each other out and are for the most part great people.

Cons

It is shocking how many of the top reps at the company are choosing to leave on their own terms. Nobody is making money worthwhile for the amount of work required. All the nightmare reviews on here are very accurate, so I will spare you the reading and just give you the numbers for Q3: -27% of ramped reps hit quota -37% of ramping reps hit quota -31% total... Do with that what you will.
