Pros
Mission aligned product serving a real market need in nonprofit and human service organizations. Uncapped commission structure. Solo full-cycle AE territories with strong autonomy. The individual contributors on the sales team were good operators and worth working alongside.
Cons
Significant gap between Casebook's external Public Benefit Corporation branding and how the company treats its own employees. PBC charters market a higher ethical standard; that standard does not consistently extend internally.
I was terminated at the end of Q1 2026 despite finishing my second full month (post-onboarding ramp) at 128% of ramp goal, March at 260%+ of quota with the largest pipeline on the team, and a $133k five-year contract ($700k+ TCV) in final stage. Reasons given for termination did not align with documented performance or any prior feedback I had received.
Severance offered was one week, presented as a "goodwill gesture." It is the minimum legal consideration required to make a release agreement enforceable, so a transactional security measure for the company, not generosity to the employee. Anyone offered a separation agreement here should have an attorney review the terms before signing.
The termination was driven by senior leadership team decisions on a Q1 operational matter and not by performance, prior feedback, or documented concerns about my contributions.
