Pros

Best sales training and onboarding I have had. Clear playbooks, live coaching, and real skill development. Managers give specific, actionable feedback every week that actually helps you improve. Strong team culture. People are supportive, positive, and willing to help you get better. Clear expectations and structure. You always know your metrics, goals, and what you need to do to move up. Solid tech stack — HubSpot CRM, Gong, Sales Navigator, and good enablement content. Real internal mobility. If you hit your numbers, promotion to AE or other paths is realistic within a year. Leadership listens. They take feedback seriously and make changes when needed.

Cons

It is very metrics driven. You need to be comfortable with activity expectations and consistent accountability. High volume role — lots of calls, emails, and follow-ups every day. Not a fit if you prefer a slower pace. Quotas are fair but not easy. You have to stay disciplined to hit them. Meetings and enablement sessions can feel heavy at times, especially during busy weeks. The role can feel repetitive if you are not naturally motivated by prospecting. Time zones can make scheduling tricky depending on your territory.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
