Vantaggi
The people are smart, hard-working, and fun. Cvent hires mostly college-grads for sales positions so the atmosphere is laid-back, casual, and fun. You can wear jeans to work every day. There is a weekly basketball game during lunch. Middle-management is great; couldn't say enough good things about my direct managers. Benefits are good; along with health and dental, you get a subsidized gym membership at Sport and Health. The product is one of the most functional in the marketplace. The office is in Tyson's corner and the furniture and equiptment is nice compared to most offices I've been in. It is a cube farm, but they are spacious. They have an India office in New Delhi to support US operations so you do not have to do a lot of menial work / data-entry. Leads are generated automatically so you do not have to spend hours finding leads on your own.
Svantaggi
Expect to work long hours as an AE. They are very metric driven and monitor all of your activity closely. If you are not a top preformer you might be fired with no warning. If you do not plan to work a couple hours from home in addition to 9-10 hours in the office every day, they will notice and it counts against you; low work-life balance. Without going into detail, this company is run by extreme capitalists lawyers. As an example of this, they will make you agree to a 24-month bond where you have to pay them $10,000 if you quit before that time is up. They call it a training loan - (so, you are their prisoner because what college grad can afford $10,000 just to leave a job they don't particularly care for???). I have never seen anything like that before at any company.. Also, because of the young pool of employees, get ready for office drama and gossip.. yea, like high school.. keep your personal business to yourself there or beware that the entire office will know what you did last weekend! Leads are generated automatically of which many are complete garbage but you have to call on them anyway. No 401K matching.
