Pros

Culture is second to none. Strong team atmosphere, rather than a dog eat dog environment that you’ll find at other companies. Sales Dev work is a grind, but that’s to be expected. While there are metrics, your feet aren’t held over the fire. Have the autonomy to be creative, rather than being a robot.

Cons

Sales Dev org has only been around for a year - lots of change occurring. Too much grey area at the moment, but leadership is addressing and remedying. Greater alignment with AE’s and their managers will go a long way.

Pros

- great benefits & pay - healthy work/life balance - mentorship & career development resources - commitment to diversity & inclusions - continuing education opportunities - cool, change-making product

Cons

- frequent change - working in a remote office (not SF) can seem exclusionary at times (but most internal teams in Denver are great & stick together)
