Vantaggi

-The product itself is solid. It solves a real problem. -You’ll learn how to operate under constant pressure. -The logo carries weight - you’ll probably need it when you’re job hunting again.

Svantaggi

-PIPs are everywhere. Not as a last resort - as a management tactic. It feels systemic. At any given time, multiple reps are on performance plans. It creates a culture of paranoia where people prioritize survival than selling. -High turnover isn’t a rumour - it’s a feature. Entire cohorts churn through. Territories reset constantly. There’s no stability because people either burn out or get managed out. -Minimal consistent quota hitters. For a company that talks endlessly about “high standards,” the actual percentage of reps sustainably hitting quota is shockingly low. When most of the team misses, that’s not a rep problem - that’s a planning problem. -Narcissistic leadership culture. Leadership feels deeply self-congratulatory. There’s a lot of public chest-beating when things go well, and a lot of subtle blame-shifting when they don’t. Feedback from the floor rarely travels upward. -Gaslighting around targets. When numbers aren’t hit, the narrative is always “execution.” Never territory design. Never comp design. Never market saturation. Always the rep. -Optics over substance. Internal messaging is polished and motivational. The reality is fear-driven and metric-obsessed. -It feels less like a high-performance culture and more like a churn-and-burn sales machine dressed up as excellence.

Vantaggi

Great salary, I work on a team that has excellent balance. I get recognized when I do good work.

Svantaggi

Company has a big focus on AI, but not sure we’re all marching in the same direction and often doesn’t feel like a good use of resources.

Vantaggi

* Remote-first culture with flexibility. * Competitive market-rate compensation.

Svantaggi

* **Too many layers of management.** There are excessive management layers that often create bottlenecks and encourage micromanagement instead of empowering employees to better serve customers and build great products. * **Lack of investment in IC.** Many teams remain understaffed, resulting in consistently high workloads. Burnout is common, and employees are frequently expected to take on responsibilities well beyond their role and pay band without recognition. * **"Flexible PTO" doesn't feel truly flexible.** While the company advertises flexible PTO, in practice there appears to be an informal limit/fake. Taking around three weeks or more of PTO can draw leadership attention, and it can feel like using the benefit may negatively affect performance reviews, even when work expectations are met. This discourages employees from taking the time off they need to recharge.
