Pros

Smart, hard working colleagues, plenty of opportunities for learning and growth.

Cons

Extremely “woke” culture that sometimes overshadows the day to day work. Very heavy workloads, this is a place that can cause burnout for those seeking work-life balance. US health coverage is very expensive and does not have great coverage. If you or your spouse or child have a chronic health issue, the insurance costs will break you unless you have a secondary source.

Thank you for this balanced and thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that our benefits and investment in people are making a positive impact, those are commitments we take seriously. On the process feedback: Leadership is actively reviewing operational workflows, and the advice to listen more closely to employee feedback is something we're holding ourselves accountable to. If you're open to it, we'd encourage you to bring specific examples forward through your team or people and culture contacts. Change is most effective when it's grounded in the real experiences of the people doing the work, and that means you.

Pros

-Great company -Team has talented, experienced account managers and product experts who know the territory well

Cons

West team management is heavy on micromanagement and sets unrealistic territory targets without rep input — high turnover, and long tenure in company seems to shield this manager from accountability and growth
