Avantages

IC level is great. Everyone is smart, driven, pulls their own weight. Has an autonomous culture at the mid/ director level down. Great talent overall. People are efficient and don’t waste your time. Not a lot of niceties, but it makes things feel authentic, and you know where you stand with people. A low amount of formal systems/overprogrammatizing in place, feels like you can actually spend your time on important things rather than dated procedure. Good work life balance for the most part- ebbs and flows for sure but people largely respect boundaries as long as you get back to people quickly on slack. Not too many useless meetings, they try to limit tons of group meetings and group emails so people aren’t spammed- which is appreciated Good benefits, people actually do take PTO, opps to travel if you want

Inconvénients

*reminder that this is all my own personal opinion, and is therefore, subjective* Exec team and sr leadership has been really high turnover and is a total mess. Most everyone at VP level and above have huge egos and show it- very top down. Some VPs are rockstars, some are total jerks. The misalignment in culture between sr leadership and the rest of the company is staggering- it feels like two companies were cut in half and pasted together. In our recent employee engagement survey, I think less than a third of the company surveyed approved of sr leadership. The new Sr leaders being brought in are worse than the ones already here. Very very top down and afraid to ruffle feathers or even hear out people below them. The company has a pretty gruff and harsh culture. Not for those who get their feelings hurt easily. People are very brash and almost come off Understaffed, but tbh, that’s how all tech companies have been in my experience since Covid backlash layoffs.

Employee stock purchase program is great.

Inconvénients

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.
