Vantaggi

Amazing experience in the beginning Lots of pair programming, learning, excited to go to work everyday Flexible schedule, great benefits Working remotely

Svantaggi

Poor management will always hamstring their technology. Saw it go from being a tech company to a marketing company in about 2 years. Went from being the darling of web 2.0 e-commerce to the punchline of jokes and the internet's own dollar store all due to the poor leadership and misguidance. Management tried to expand to every country they could while not even having a solid North American platform Poor communication between teams Managers who manage managers You're a VP of what? All I do is watch you drink coffee and talk to the people around you all day Hiring and interview practices are all over the place. Often times they person has a scheduling conflict and calls in someone else to conduct the interview, often from a different team, who has no idea about the position the person in question is interviewing for. Just a complete disorganized mess masquerading as a real company.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

“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.
