Pros

Growth is huge and it's a great company that will likely IPO in the next couple years which could pay well on equity. The product is constantly improving. Easy to sell to ICP and at least compete with a lot competitors.

Kontras

They revamped the commission structure and it's now based on variable instead of a percentage of bookings. They did this with a few days left in march and it came into effect immediately. for reference i made about 1/3 of what I did the month before with similar sales numbers. Enacted R90 which is essentially a 2nd quota that penalizes if you don't hit your number, but does not reward you for hitting/exceeding the number it can cut your commission check by 30%. Not a good system at all less than 30% of the org hit it this last month.

Pros

Great leadership and work culture

Kontras

Commission could be a little better. Also lots of changes but that’s expected with a company that’s still in the startup phase

Pros

Competitive base salary with commission potential when goals are met. Benefits were solid overall, and the office itself was nice. Weekly catered lunches were also a nice perk, and there were some good coworkers on the team.

Kontras

Despite sometimes being positioned as hybrid, the role was fully in-office. The training program (“STP”) felt more fear-based than developmental, with constant pressure and the feeling that your job could be taken away at any point if expectations were not followed exactly. Quotas initially appeared manageable but ramped up very quickly. The structure also made it difficult to recover from a bad month because performance was tied to both monthly bookings and monthly revenue, with revenue goals heavily dependent on deals closed in previous months. Falling behind once often created a snowball effect that was nearly impossible to overcome. Lead quality and distribution were another challenge, as many leads were heavily overcalled. This made prospecting increasingly difficult and reduced the effectiveness of outreach. The office culture often felt immature and overly “bro culture” driven. Expectations changed frequently and were not always clearly communicated. There was also an expectation to work beyond normal hours, especially during training, which contributed to burnout early on. Additionally, there did not seem to be a real focus on employee development or real improvement plans. If performance slipped, employees were often simply let go rather than meaningfully coached through improvement.
