Vantaggi

Above-average compensation in sales Some interesting benefits (such as no dress code or PTO policy) Product is extremely popular and in many ways sells itself Opportunity to work for an industry in its infancy and define standards Media darling company is most likely a great resume-builder Great for entry-levels

Svantaggi

It's unfortunate that an organization that prides itself on having a unique culture offers so little in the way of recognition/ professional development/ opportunity for advancement. Promotions are seemingly doled out based on tenure rather than merit. True, this is still a start-up company in a *rapid* growth mode; however, a little pat on the back and some stimulating ongoing training would go a long way for this employee. Any sort of encouraging remark from upper management is accompanied by a reminder that the work is constantly going to increase in volume and difficulty (in case you thought you could stop working for a split-second to reflect, go pee, or eat lunch). Lack of PTO policy seems like a lot of fun at first, but ensuing feelings of guilt for taking a vacation or sick day completely overshadow the novelty. The hours are insane, and there is an unspoken expectation that employees will always be reachable, making it difficult to disconnect and relax. No 401k matching.

Vantaggi

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Svantaggi

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
