Stock price and competitive salary

Svantaggi

The culture was toxic (harsh words I am aware). I’ve never felt compelled to write a review before, I actually created a Glassdoor account just so that I could write this review. I am not one that has ever felt that company culture really contributed all that much to the job but in this case it absolutely did and it was the detriment. The sales culture is brutal, and I wasn’t even in sales, I just supported them. The leaders were sexist, demoralizing, and just not good people. Literally every All Hands meeting there would be at least one person who would anonymously inquire about sexual harassment and basically beg for the company to come up with a solution to prevent it...I wonder if that is still an issue there. Fortunately, I have moved on and am really happy at my new company and yet I still have nightmares of this place. Not even kidding.

Employee stock purchase program is great.

Svantaggi

This was one of the most toxic sales cultures I’ve experienced. Management creates an environment where you never know where you stand, regardless of your performance. Expectations constantly shift, feedback is inconsistent, and trust is virtually nonexistent. QBRs are particularly unprofessional. Rather than serving as coaching sessions, they often feel like coordinated attempts to find fault. Managers openly collaborate beforehand and during QBRs (yes, we see you slacking each other) to identify issues and pressure reps, creating a culture of fear instead of development. Account ownership is also a major concern. Accounts and opportunities can be taken away without warning, even when a rep is performing well and has invested significant time building relationships. This makes it difficult to feel motivated or confident in your long-term success. The organization measures and critiques nearly every activity, resulting in extreme micromanagement. Reps are treated as if they cannot be trusted to do their jobs, and leadership seems far more focused on monitoring and criticism than enabling success. In my experience, the company tends to hire less experienced salespeople who may be more willing to accept this environment. Strong, seasoned reps who value autonomy, transparency, and professional respect are unlikely to thrive here. If you’re looking for a culture built on trust, coaching, and empowerment, this is probably not the place.
