Pluspunten

I worked fully remote for my 3 years here in sales, although there's been a big push to get people back in the office. Overall, pretty good culture, although I think the wrong people are being given leadership positions which is making things much worse.

Minpunten

They've completely ruined the sales org. SMB base is 45k, I was promoted to mid market at 60k base which is lower than competitors, and if they want to be a leader in this space, they aren't paying people like it. 1 or 2 out of 30 sales people in mid market space hitting quota every month. Managers are directors talk about how bad things are weekly but after a year and a half, absolutely no change to help the sales people make more money. There are promotions and incentives to hand out bonuses that are unattainable. About 20/30 reps left and 2/4 managers left - it's just no longer a sustainable sales org. The leadership hasn't made any changes to help after a year and a half which is so confusing, they either want people to leave or don't know what to do to turn things around. I hope things turn around because it's a great product that really helps companies, and a lot of great employees, but I wouldn't recommend working in this sales org right now.

Great office snacks, free ev charging, cool coworkers

Minpunten

Out of about 100 AE's only 10 hit Quota, OTE is a joke there. It's possible to hit quota if you are lucky with your inbound leads, but if you want to hit quota every month you have to do something moreso out of the box. I was trained by hard closers and have a lot of expierence with cold calls so i came up with my own script and was getting a demo a day, and was doing a demo a day. The demos did lead to sales as well, so it wasn't a waste of time. I got fired because of a "lack of professionalism" I spoke off script all the time because speaking on script leads you in to the Kool-aid drinkers club, aka not hitting quota consistently. I was fired without warning, even though I was told I had an incredible work ethic and was exceeding the ramp-up numbers. I just didnt match their sales style, they are not looking for salespeople, they are looking for sales associates. They make you work 9-hour days, 1 hour mandatory lunch that has to be taken in the middle of the day. 9-6pm. Their handbook even says you are allowed to take this lunch at 5 pm to go home sooner, but the managers never let that happen. DO NOT BE CREATIVE AT THIS JOB, DRINK THE JUICE.
