Pros

- People are amazing. Everyone is extremely nice and friendly. It feels like one giant family. - Thought Leaders in a Growing Field - Energy is always buzzing - New Kitchen is awesome and makes everyone happy - Tons of support - Dress Code - easy parking and access to T

Cons

- Salary is very low. Some people are just managing to survive with their expenses. Boston is the 3rd most expensive real estate in the US. Apartments for someone out of college range from ~$1000-$1500 a month. With half the salary being commission and the other being based its hard to tell how your going to do for that month. On average you'll make $2000 month in first level sales. It's not fun to count ever penny. - Sales is out of your hands. You depend on someone else for your commission. - Unlimited vacation policy is almost impossible with needing each second of the day to hit numbers - Work 60+ hours a week - Fear of always getting fired if you don't hit numbers in 60 days. - Always working and wishing there were more time - White Collar Sweat Shop - Cramped Space - 1600 Calls a Month

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.
